The correct answer is D. This verse contains the ABAB rhyme scheme
Step-by-step explanation:
In the poetry, the word rhyme refers to the repetition of the same sound or of similar sounds in two or more words, especially in the final syllable of these words and usually in the last word of verses. In the case of rhyme schemes, these are the patterns in terms of rhyme a poem can have whether this scheme is repeated in a stanza or in all the stanzas that composed a poem.
Even though there are multiple rhyme schemes one of the most common ones is the ABAB scheme in which in a stanza of four verse the last word of the first verse rhymes with the last word of the third verse and the last word of the second verse rhymes with the one of the fourth verse. This type of scheme can be seen in the stanza of the poem "Song" by John Donne as the word of the first verse "heart" rhymes with the word "part" of the verse number three and the word of the second verse "ill" rhymes with the one of the fourth verse "fulfill". Thus, it can be concluded the statement that is true about the excerpt from "Song" by John Donne is that this verse contains the ABAB rhyme scheme.
