Words ending in -ath with /æθ/ rhyme with /ræθ/ in American English: bath, path, math, lath. However, in British English, bath and path are pronounced /bɑːθ/ and /pɑːθ/, so they do not rhyme. Wreath /riːθ/ and wroth /rɔːθ/ look similar but have different vowel sounds, so they do not rhyme with wrath.
