Mosaic rhyme occurs when a rhyme of more than one syllable is constructed of words or pieces of words, just as a mosaic is assembled from individivual bits:

    He could, perhaps, have passed the Hellespont,
As once (a feat on which ourselves we prided)
Leander, Mr Elkenhead, and I did.
                                --Byron

Mosaic rhyme has to have at least two syllables, but can have three or four--possibly even more. A famous example is Byron's rhyming "intellectual" with "hen-pecked you all."
