It's also permitted in normal poetry. Coleridge:

"One after one, by the star-dogged moon
Too quick for groan or sigh
Each turned his head with a ghastly pang
And cursed me with his eye.

Four times fifty living men
(And I heard nor sigh nor groan)
With heavy thump, a lifeless lump
They dropped down, one by one."

The two words don't necessarily rhyme, not like school and fool for instance, but the feel of the rhyme is still there. Plenty of examples of this in poetry.
