Another poem, and still more opinions needed.?

Question

Scylla and Charybdis

Be there any more dismal abyss,
Than that of the monstrous Charybdis?
Have there been some lucky to escape
The whirlpool formed from her mouth agape?

What horrid and more fantastic beast
Is there, than that feared Scylla released?
With her six heads, never to be ceased
‘Til each, had a mortal for a feast.

That fearful strait, with the dangers placed,
Where only those foolish or brave graced,
Proved deadly for the ones ill-prepared,
Grave site for them, that for danger dared.

Does this gauntlet of trials exist,
The mighty Scylla and Charybdis?
Neither in the seas or on this earth
Rather, in fearful souls seeking worth.

You are absolutely right, it does not always have to rhyme. However, when one pursues a scheme involving rhyming, one should adhere to this goal. Why rhyme in one stanza, only to turn away for another? This I especially would like to point out, they were couplet rhymes:
A
A
B
B
and so forth. I don't believe a poem should rhyme and then become rhymeless. Choose one or the other, but never combine them both.
