The Chimera Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDBBEEBB

You'd think a lion or a snakeA
Were quite enough one's nerves to shakeA
But in this classic beast we findB
A lion and a snake combinedB
And just as if that weren't enoughC
A goat thrown in to make it toughC
Let scientists the breed pooh poohD
Come with me to some Social ZooD
And hear the bearded Lion bleatB
Goat like on patent kidded feetB
Whose Civil leer and damning praiseE
The serpent's cloven tongue betraysE
Lo lion goat and snake combinedB
Thus Nature doth repeat her kindB
