sonnet 116
by william shakespeare
let me not to the marriage of true minds
admit impediments. love is not love
which alters when it alteration finds,
or bends with the remover to remove.
\sonnet 116\ by william shakespeare

Explanation:

To determine the rhyme scheme, we label each line's end - sound.

• Line 1: "minds" (let's call its sound 'A')
• Line 2: "love" (different from 'A', call it 'B')
• Line 3: "finds" (rhymes with "minds" - 'A')
• Line 4: "remove" (different from 'A' and 'B', call it 'C')

Answer:

ABAB
