The rhyme scheme for 'To The Ladies,' by Mary, Lady Chudleigh is 'aabb.'' The poem has an unusual structure. The first three lines are in what is known as iambic tetrameter, or lines that have four iambic feet. The last line is still classified as tetrameter, however it only has three iambic feet, and contains an anapest foot in the middle of it. Therefore, the last line doesn't follow a classic metric foot patter, thus the confusion.

What is the rhyme scheme of to the ladies?

I assume you mean Rossetti's translation of Dante's original To Certain Ladies:Whence come you, all of you so sorrowful?An' it may please you, speak for courtesy.I fear for my dear lady's sake, lest sheHave made you to return thus fill'd with dule.O gentle ladies, be not hard to schoolIn gentleness, but to some pause agree,And something of my lady say to me,For with a little my desire is full.Howbeit it be a heavy thing to hear:For love now utterly has thrust me forth,With hand for ever lifted, striking fear.See if I be not worn unto the earth:Yea, and my spirit must fail from me here,If, when you speak, your words are of no worth.ABBA ABBA CDC DCD
