Match the lines from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe with the type of rhyme used.

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness
I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and
so gently you came rapping,”

“On the morrow he will leave me, as
my hopes have flown before.” Then
the bird said, “Nevermore."

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly
there came a tapping, As of some one
gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

The first paragraph has end rhyme "Door, implore, more"
The second has end rhyme "before, nevermore"
The 3rd has alliteration "Nodded, nearly, napping"
