What are rhymes within a line called?

Rhymes within a line are called internal rhymes.

For example:

* "The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain" - "rain" and "plain" are internal rhymes.

* "The cat sat on the mat." - "sat" and "mat" are internal rhymes.

Internal rhymes add a musical quality to poetry and prose, and can also create emphasis or a sense of unity within a line.
