More musical and the rhyming sounds way more natural and less gimicky..It also just sounds softer in general, even though the consonants are more frequently pronounced ."Grah-ceh" just sounds more beautiful than the "grace" pronunciation of Modern English. Sho-wers soh-teh just sounds more musical than "showers sweet", iambs in Middle English sound like a melody, in Modern English they sound like drum.
