This is about corruption in the government. Shakespeare uses the word State. Not country or nation, but State. He is referring to the organization. The politicians and their institutions. The idea of something being rotten is metaphor to the idea that something is no good inside of the State. If the State is supposed to work for the people, someone inside the State is not. There's a force or a person that is not working to fulfill the interest of the people. If it's rotten, it might be much worse than that. It might mean that someone might be even working against the people.

The last words of the first and third lines rhyme, and so do the last words of the second and fourth lines, making the rhyme scheme abab. The fifth and sixth lines do not rhyme, so the rhyme scheme for them is cd.

Thus, if the first line is identified as “a” in the rhyme scheme, the remaining lines should be identified as "babcd".
