Venus Mistaken Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABB CCCC

When Cloe's Picture was to Venus shownA
Surpriz'd the Goddess took it for Her ownA
And what said She does this bold Painter meanB
When was I Bathing thus and Naked seenB
-
Pleas'd Cupid heard and check'd His Mother's PrideC
And who's blind now Mamma the Urchin cry'dC
'Tis Cloe's Eye and Cheek and Lip and BreastC
Friend Howard's Genius fancy'd all the restC
