1. Coupletnoun

   Etymology: French.

   1. Two verses; a pair of rhimes.

   Then would they cast away their pipes, and, holding hand in hand, dance by the only cadence of their voices, which they would use in singing some short couplets, whereto the one half beginning, the other half should answer. Philip Sidney, b. i.

   Then at the last, an only couplet fraught
   With some unmeaning thing they call a thought;
   A needless Alexandrine ends the song,
   That, like a wounded snake, drags it slow length along. Alexander Pope, Essay on Criticism.

   In Alexander Pope I cannot read a line,
   But with a sigh I wish it mine,
   When he can in one couplet fix
   More sense than I can do in six,
   It gives me such a jealous fit,
   I cry, pox take him and his wit. Jonathan Swift.

   2. A pair; as of doves.

   Anon, as patient as the female dove,
   E’re that her golden couplets are disclos’d,
   His silence will sit drooping. William Shakespeare, Hamlet.

1. Couplet

   A couplet is a pair of successive lines of metre in poetry. A couplet usually consists of two successive lines that rhyme and have the same metre. A couplet may be formal (closed) or run-on (open). In a formal (or closed) couplet, each of the two lines is end-stopped, implying that there is a grammatical pause at the end of a line of verse. In a run-on (or open) couplet, the meaning of the first line continues to the second.
