Read the lines of verse.

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

Answer 1

Answer 2

• Quatrain

Step-by-step explanation:

The Shakespearean sonnet, the type of work used all through Shakespeare's grouping, is partitioned into four sections. The initial three sections are every four lines in length, and are known as quatrains, rhymed ABAB; the fourth part is known as the couplet and is rhymed CC.

The Shakespearean poem is regularly used to build up an arrangement of representations or thoughts, one in every quatrain, while the couplet offers either a rundown or another interpretation of the first pictures or thoughts.
