Rhyming Couplet
The rhyming couplet appears at the end of the sonnet. In the rhyme scheme it is, "GG." The Shakespearean rhyming couplet sums up the sonnet. The rhyming couplet in, Sonnet 147, means that he was in love with an awful lady, but he accepts her to be a fair lady, which she is not. This love for her is killing him through out the sonnet.
Shakespeare was highly talented, but wrote for lower classes. He purposely put rhyming couplets at the end so that his readers can understand his works.
