Truth, Not Form! Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDDCCD

I came upon a fountain on my wayA
When it was hot and sat me down to drinkB
Its sparkling stream when all around the brinkB
I spied full many vessels made of clayA
Whereon were written not without displayA
In deep engraving or with merely inkB
The blessings which each owner seemed to thinkB
Would light on him who drank with each alwayA
I looked so hard my eyes were looking doubleC
Into them all but when I came to seeD
That they were filthy each in his degreeD
I bent my head though not without some troubleC
To where the little waves did leap and bubbleC
And so I journeyed on most pleasantlyD
