What best describes the type of rhymes used in Lissadell?

The poem Lissadell uses a combination of perfect rhymes and slant rhymes. Perfect rhymes are words that have the same ending sounds, such as "love" and "dove," while slant rhymes are words that have similar but not identical ending sounds, such as "love" and "move." In Lissadell, Yeats uses both perfect and slant rhymes to create a sense of musicality and unity throughout the poem.
