Which statement about the structure of these lines is

be
Romeo: [TO JULIET.) If I profane with my unworthiest
hand
This holy shrine, the gentle sin is this;
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
Juliet: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too
much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
O Juliet's lines make up one couplet, which uses an
abab rhyme scheme.
Juliet's lines make up one stanza, which uses an
aabb rhyme scheme.

abab rhyme scheme.
