Couplets Couplets are two consecutive lines of poetry that rymes. Shakespear normally didnt use couplets that often but used them alot in exiting scenes

Examples Good night, good night! parting is such a sweet sorrowThat i shall say good night till it be morrow

Reading lines In poetry each line line is either end-stopped line or run-on line and the only difference is that in end-stopped lines there is a punctuation at the end of the line mostly finishing the idea and in run-un lines there in no punctuation and the idea keeps going on the next slide
