Rime riche is not very well defined in English, where it tends to be identical in meaning with "homophone," or word pairs that sound exactly alike but mean different things: hear/here; wear/wear; hoar/whore; and so on. Chaucer used it fairly often, but most poets using rhyme avoid it. In French, polysyllabic rime riche is easier to achieve than in English:

Vous avez vu des astres,
Et d'imprévu désastres.
