Question

Identify the rhyme scheme of the following verse:
Stay, O sweet, and do not rise!
The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not: it is my heart,
Because that you and I must part.
Stay! Or else my joys will die
And perish in their infancy.

Verified by Toppr

The rhyme scheme followed can be found out through the last word of each line. Here, the following words rhyme:
Rise-Eyes(a)
Heart-Part(b)
However, 'die' and 'infancy' do not rhyme. So, the rhyme scheme is aabbcd. The correct answer is A.
