What is the rhyme scheme of this poem excerpt?

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow —

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

Than to love and be loved by me.

What is the rhyme scheme of this poem?

Painting on Vellum: not on silk or hide

Or ordinary Canvas: I suppose

No painter of the present day has tried

So many mediums with success, or knows

As well as I do how the subject grows

Beneath the hands of genius, that anoint

With balm. But I have something to disclose—

Painting on Vellum is my weakest point.

Prince! do not let your Nose, your royal Nose,

Your large imperial Nose get out of Joint.

For though you cannot touch my golden Prose,

Painting on Vellum is my weakest point.
