After reading each word and possible definition, we can match them in the following manner:

1. Measure - the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

2. Loon - a silly or foolish person

3. Burthen - meaning, weight, or significance

4. Recompence - reward

5. Rill - a small stream

Let's break down the definition of each of the words above:

1. The word "measure" is used to refer to the rhythm of a song or of a poem. We most commonly use the words "rhythm" and "meter", depending on what we are talking about.

2. If the word "loon" reminds you of "loony," that is not a coincidence. A loon is someone who is silly, foolish, or simply someone who does not understand things the way others do.

3. The word "burthen" is just an archaic (very old) form of spelling "burden". As we know, something is a burden when it is heavy, difficult to carry or do.

4. "Recompence" is also an old form of spelling "recompense," which is a synonym for "reward."

5. Finally, the word "rill" means a small stream or a brook.
