To compose verse or poetry about something; to put something into rhyming lines or verse form.
From the prefix 'be-' (meaning to cause or make) combined with 'rhyme.' This follows Old English patterns where 'be-' creates verbs meaning 'to cover with' or 'to make into,' so 'berhyme' literally means 'to make into rhyme.'
Medieval poets loved 'be-' verbs to describe their craft—they could 'berhyme' their subjects, 'bedeck' their descriptions, and 'befool' their enemies with words, creating a whole vocabulary of poetic action.
