This group of stanzas present an alternate rhyme pattern, which follow the ABAB CDAD format; there are four sounds present and and each is used in the particular order defined by the letters in the format. This makes for a poem's purpose, and the stanzas can also be used for a march song since they can be followed by instruments in an even metre (which is a pattern used in march songs for accented first beats).
It could be a metaphor since you are comparing them to reptiles without using like or as.
