Romanian is the exception due to Slavic influence.

Dragostea = love from the old Slavonic, dragos. Iubirea = love comes from the Slavic root word lyubov which has the same meaning.

Even German is chock full of rhymes for Liebe, such as Bergwerksbetriebe (mining operations), Teesiebe (tea strainers) and Pferdediebe (horse thieves).

Don't diss the glove, Mark Steyn! It's mentioned in one of the most romantic songs ever, and they didn't even use it for rhyming with love. She's in italics:

We met at nine -- We met at eight,
I was on time -- No, you were late.
Ah, yes, I remember it well
We dined with friends -- We dined alone.
A tenor sang -- A baritone!
Ah, yes! I remember it well.

That dazzling April moon -- There was none that night
And the month was June
. That's right, that's right...
It warms my heart to know that you remember still the way you do --
Ah, yes...I remember it well.

How often I've thought of that Friday -- Monday! -- night
When we had our last rendezvous
And somehow I foolishly wondered if you might
By some chance be thinking of it too?

That carriage ride -- You walked me home
You lost a glove! I lost a comb!
Ah -- yes, I remember it well.
That brilliant sky -- We had some rain
Those Russian songs -- From sunny Spain!
Ah -- yes -- I remember it well --

You wore a gown of gold! I was all in blue.
Am I getting old? Oh, no, not you!
How strong you were, how young and gay
A prince of love in every way
...
Ah, yes...I remember it well.

-- Alan Jay Lerner, lyricist

Then suddenly
Love!
It fell out of heaven
Love!
It gave me a shove...
