Two successive lines of verse that rhyme with one another are called a c. couplet.
Explanation:
In poetry, a <u>couplet</u> is a pair of lines in a verse that follows one another and rhyme. These successive rhyming lines usually have the same meter or rhythm to form a complete thought.
An example of a couplet is:
<em>"So, lovers dream a rich and long delight,
</em>
<em>But get a winter-seeming summer's night."</em>

mood of this short passage from the novel “Bleak House” by Charles Dickens.
Infinitive phrases are consisted form the infinitive form of a verb plus any
complements (often direct object) or/and modifiers (often adverb) and in this
short passage there are none of them, so they can’t contribute to the mood.</span>
