Match the lines from "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe with the type of rhyme used.

"Sir," said I, "or Madam, truly your forgiveness

I implore; But the fact is I was napping, and

so gently you came rapping,"

"On the morrow he will leave me, as

my hopes have flown before." Then

the bird said, "Nevermore."

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly

there came a tapping, As of some one

gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
