Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd, And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or nature's changing course untrimm'd: But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st, Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. —“Sonnet 18,” William Shakespeare Use the poem to complete the sentences.

Explanation:

The numbers mentioned in the question already give us the answers. A stanza is a group of lines in a poem. If a stanza has only two lines, it is called a couplet. If the stanza has four lines, it is a quatrain.

In this poem by Shakespeare, the first stanza is:

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date;

It is a quatrain with an ABAB rhyme scheme.

The last stanza is:

 So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

 So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Since it is made up of two lines, it is a couplet. The rhyme scheme is GG.
