Explanation:

The rhyme scheme of any line of a poem in poetry is the way the end words of each line sounds. The similarity of the sounds of each line signifies the pattern of rhyme in it.

In the given lines are taken from the second stanza of the poem "The Phobble Who Has no Toes" by Edward Lear. And looking closely at the end words/ sounds of each line, we can see a pattern.

Now, assigning each word/ sound with the alphabets, let's look into each line of the given poem.

The Pobble who has no toes (a)

Swam across the Bristol Channel; (b)

But before he set out he wrapped his nose (a)

In a piece of scarlet flannel. (b)

For his Aunt Jobiska said "No harm (c)

Can come to his toes if his nose is warm; (c)

And it's perfectly known that a Pobble's toes (d)

Are safe,—provided he minds his nose!" (d)

The words "toes/nose" rhyme with each other, thus assigned the letter (a).

"Channel" rhymes with "flannel", thus assigned (b).

"harm" from line 5 rhymes with "warm" from line 6, thus (c)

And "toes" from line 7 rhymes with "nose" from line 8, so (d).

Therefore, the rhyme scheme of the given lines of poetry is abab ccdd.
