'sourly' (/ˈsaʊəli/) rhymes exactly with 'hourly' (/ˈaʊəli/). The one-syllable words 'hour', 'flour', 'sour', 'power', and 'tower' all contain the same stressed /aʊə/ sound as the first syllable of 'hourly', but they do not rhyme with the whole word because they lack the final /li/ syllable. Note that 'hourly' is spelled with -our-, just like 'hour' and 'flour', but it is not pronounced like 'hurl-y' or like 'holy'.
