couplet

__Couplet- __ a pair of successive lines of verse, especially a pair that rhyme and are of the same length. Sonnet 18: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
 * __COUPLET __**

 Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

 Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

 And summer's lease hath all too short a date:

 Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

 And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;

 And every fair from fair sometime declines,

 By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;

 But thy eternal summer shall not fade

 Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;

 Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,

 When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> So long lives this and this gives life to thee. Couplets <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">Sonntet 72: <span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">O, lest the world should task you to recite

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> What merit lived in me, that you should love

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> After my death, dear love, forget me quite,

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> For you in me can nothing worthy prove;

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> Unless you would devise some virtuous lie,

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> To do more for me than mine own desert,

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> And hang more praise upon deceased I

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> Than niggard truth would willingly impart:

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> O, lest your true love may seem false in this,

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> That you for love speak well of me untrue,

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> My name be buried where my body is,

<span style="font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> And live no more to shame nor me nor you.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';">For I am shamed by that which I bring forth, couplets

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif';"> And so should you, to love things nothing worth. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">A couplet is the last two rhyming lines in a sonnet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
