adapted from ralph waldo emerson, \a fable\

Explanation:

In poetry, rhyme scheme is determined by the ending sounds of lines.

• The first line "I think it no disgrace" and the second line "To occupy my place" end with words that rhyme (disgrace - place), so they are both assigned the letter 'A'.
• The third line "If I'm not so large as you" and the fourth line "You are not so small as I" end with words that rhyme (you - I), so they are both assigned the letter 'B'.

Answer:

A, A, B, B
