Because to emphasize each rhyme you would have to pause in the middle of every sentence, and that would sound very awkward and unnatural in a narrative poem like this. Always pausing at the end of each line is a common beginner's mistake in poetry reading. Whether you pause or not depends on a few factors. Is the sentence over? Does enjambement occur? Does punctuation appear at the end of the line? Is the poem written with a very tight meter? "Endymion" is a long narrative poem, the rhymes here are more of a stylistic, "decorative" choice. Most of the time you shouldn't pause when an enjambement occurs, although sometimes if you want to emphasize the rhyme you can get away with that in certain specific situations, if your timing and rhythm are on point, but you need to have a very good sense of the structure, meter and musicality of the poem to do that, and that's certainly not an ability that you will find in a beginner or an improviser.
