Two Forms of Verse Blank verse is unrhymed poetry meaning
there is no rhyme at the ends of lines. Rhymed verse is speech that is written in a
rhyming pattern. When Shakespeare rhymes, he usually creates
couplets.
Couplets Couplets are two consecutive lines of
poetry that rhyme
Example: “She is too fair, too wise, wisely too fair,
To merit bliss by making me despair. She hath forsworn to love, and in that
vowDo I live dead that live to tell it now.”
