The ryhme scheme to this poem is abba

Answer: A) abba.

Explanation: when we want to determinate the rhyme scheme of a poem or a stanza, we have to pay attention to the ending sound of each line. In the given verse from John Donne's verse, we have that the first and last line end with the same sound "thee" and "me," and the second and third line also end with the same sound "so" and "overthrow" which means that the rhyme scheme should be: abba.
