- Step 1: ABAB CDCD has two groups of four letters. Step 2. In each group the first and third lines share a rhyme, and so do the second and fourth. Answer: Four lines, with the first and third rhyming and the second and fourth rhyming. Why not the others: The other readings do not match the letters.
