What rhyme scheme is used in this excerpt from the poem "To Lucasta, Going to the Wars" by Richard Lovelace? Tell me not, (Sweet) I am unkind, That from the nunnery Of thy chaste breast, and quiet mind To war and arms I fly. True, a new mistress now I chase, The first foe in the field; And with a stronger faith embrace A sword, a horse, a shield. Yet this inconstancy is such, As you too shall adore; I could not love thee, Dear, so much, Loved I not honour more abab abab abab abab cdcd efef abcd abcd abcd aabb ccdd eeff
