As already noted, there are no PERFECT rhymes for "legacy" -- that would require that EVERY sound from the vowel of the accented syllable to the end of the word match EXACTLY. In other words, only a word ending with the sound "-egacy" would work.

But, in fact, it is common in poetry to use good "NEAR rhymes", in which MOST of these sounds match.

Some have tried to do that by suggesting words that end with "-acy". But that really won't be enough, since the ACCENT is rather important to rhyme and this approach ignores the accented syllable.

The BEST near rhymes (most likely to work) are typically those in which ALL the vowel sounds match (called "full assonance") and the concluding consonant (if there is one) also matches, or is very close to a match. And the CLOSER the non-matching sounds are, the better.

You may still not find many good possibilities for this word, but try:

supremacy
prelacy
pregnancy
embassy
ecstasy

more distant (e.g., ONLY the vowels match):
enmity, obscenity, equity
senary, plenary, denary, decennary

There are no perfect rhymes with the word "Legacy" in the English language. The words suggested by the previous poster(s) are not perfect rhymes, as they don't end in the three syllables "-egacy"... apart from, perhaps, the suggestion of "mega see"/mega sea.

Remember that cadence can be more effective than rhyme. (does the previous line have the same syllable?) PS:orange does rhyme with sporange. A period of transition for spores. Good luck finding a use for that tidbit.
