These lines from John Donne’s poem “To Mr. T. W.” are an example of what rhyme scheme?

Haste thee harsh verse as fast as thy lame measure
Will give thee leave, to him, my pain and pleasure.
I have given thee, and yet thou art too weak,
Feet, and a reasoning soul and tongue to speak.
Plead for me, and so by thine and my labor,
I am thy Creator, thou my Savior,
Tell him, all questions, which men have defended
Both of the place and pains…are ended;



a- aabbccdd


b- abababdd


c- abcadddd


d- aaabbcdd
