As an end letter y has two sounds, the long r, as in mile, and the short V, as in mill, the former rhyming perfectly with such words as die, sigh, the latter allowably with he, see, &c. Both, however, are used indiscriminately by all our poets; but for convenience' sake, lists of words of the two sounds are given separately.
Y long, as in eye.
ay sigh
buy sky
cry sly
die spy
dry sty
eye thigh
fie tie
fry try
hie vie
high why
lie ally
nigh apply
pie awry
ply belie
