What is the rhyme scheme of Crabbed age and youth?

CRABBÈD Age and Youth


Cannot live together:


Youth is full of pleasance,


Age is full of care;


Youth like summer morn, 5


Age like winter weather;


Youth like summer brave,


Age like winter bare.


Youth is full of sport,


Age's breath is short; 10


Youth is nimble, Age is lame;


Youth is hot and bold,


Age is weak and cold;


Youth is wild, and Age is tame.


Age, I do abhor thee; 15


Youth, I do adore thee;


O, my Love, my Love is young!


Age, I do defy thee:


O, sweet shepherd, hie thee!


For methinks thou stay'st too long. 20

Reply:I love the way you frantic your words, regardless of reader intention, well written, and I have to say it peaked my curiositiy as to whther or not you meant the reader to find themselved puzzled not by the poem but by the fact of their realation to the emtion you portray, well done, keep up the good work.
