Answer: There is a series of consecutive rhyming couplets.

This is an excerpt of the poem:

"To think, to judge, to will, to know,

From whom these reasoning powers flow,

Thy name be ever magnified

That thus to angels we're allied,

Distinguish'd thus in the great chain,

Nor left the least in thy domain.

Yet should'st thou but a moment frown,

Or wink this boasted reason down,

'Twould level proud imperious man

With the least worm in nature's plan. "

The rhyme scheme of the poem is that of rhyming couplets.
