Answer:

A Couplet

Explanation:

A couplet is a pair of rhyming lines. A stanza with two verses. Shakespeare has a tendency of ending with a rhyming couplet after 3 stanzas with 4 lines (quadruplets).

You can check the <u>Sonnet X</u> example bellow:

<em>For shame! deny that thou bear'st love to any, </em>

<em>Who for thyself art so unprovident. </em>

<em>Grant, if thou wilt, thou art beloved of many, </em>

<em>But that thou none lovest is most evident; </em>

<em>For thou art so possess'd with murderous hate 5 </em>

<em>That 'gainst thyself thou stick'st not to conspire. </em>

<em>Seeking that beauteous roof to ruinate </em>

<em>Which to repair should be thy chief desire. </em>

<em>O, change thy thought, that I may change my mind! </em>

<em>Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love? 10 </em>

<em>Be, as thy presence is, gracious and kind, </em>

<em>Or to thyself at least kind-hearted prove: </em>

<em>    Make thee another self, for love of me, </em>

<em>    That beauty still may live in thine or thee.</em>
