Genuine rhyme matches: 'farer' and 'wayfarer' end in the same /fɛrɚ/ sound as the -farer of 'seafarer'; 'bearer' /ˈbɛrɚ/, 'wearer' /ˈwɛrɚ/, and 'fairer' /ˈfɛrɚ/ also share the same final stressed vowel and r-colored ending. Spelling warnings: in these American pronunciations the '-are-' and '-ear-' spellings are said /ɛr/, not /eɪ/; the first syllable of 'seafarer' is /si/ (like 'sea'), not /sɪr/ ('sear'), and 'seafarer' is unrelated to 'safari' /səˈfɑri/.
