Read the excerpt from "to my dear loving husband." “if ever two were one, then surely we. if ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee; if ever wife was happy in a man, compare with me ye women if you can.” what is the rhyme scheme in these lines? a, b, c, d a, a, d, d a, a, b, b a, a, c, c

A, A, B, B, is the correct answer.

A, A, B, B

When determining the rhyme scheme, one must first look at the last word of each line. The last words of these lines are we, thee, man, can. We label the rhyme scheme by assigning a letter of the alphabet to each end word. The last word of the first line always receives an A because that is the first letter of the alphabet. Any other last word in a line that rhymes with this first word also receives an A. Since we and thee rhyme, they both are labeled A. The next word is man. Man does not rhyme with we and thee, so it is labeled with the next letter of the alphabet, B. Any end words that rhyme with man, like can, also receive the B label. Therefore the rhyme scheme is A, A, B, B.
