Answer:

Both poets use couplets for rhyme scheme and structure, inverting sentences when needed to maintain the rhyme.

Explanation:

In both of these poems, the poets use couplets for rhyme scheme and structure. A couplet is two lines of verse that rhyme with each other. Whenever the regular rhyme was not possible, the poets invert the sentences in order to maintain the rhyme. By using this strategy, the poets ensure that the rhythm and musical quality of the poem is maintained constant throughout it.
