Sonnet 116

by William Shakespeare

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments; love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove.

The rhyme scheme of the lines from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 116" is ABAB. The first line ends with "minds" (A), the second with "love" (B), the third with "finds" (A), and the fourth with "remove" (B). Therefore, the correct response is:

ABAB
