Both poets use couplets for rhythm and structure

so the answer is: Both poets use couplets for rhyme scheme and structure, inverting sentences when needed to maintain the rhyme.

In both poems we can verify the use of couplets for rhyme scheme and structure, inverting sentences when required to maintain the rhyme. This means that the couplet pattern in both texts is consecutive pairs of rhyming lines that enable the poets to link lines of poetry together using sound.
