Question

Examples of Rhyme in Romeo and Juliet

Answer 1

One example is the Prologue rhyme scheme:

Two households, both alike in dignity,    A
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,    B
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,    A
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.    B
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes    C
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;    D
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows    C
Doth with their death bury their parents' strife.    D
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,    E
And the continuance of their parents' rage,    F
Which, but their children's end, naught could remove,    E
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;    F
The which if you with patient ears attend,    G
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.    G

Answer 2

O she doth teach the torches to burn bright:It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night,Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear:Beauty too rich for us to use, for earth too dear... Did my heart love till now, forswear it sight,For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night
