 The language used by Shakespeare in his plays is in one of three forms: ◦ prose, rhymed verse or blank verse, proserhymed verseblank verse  each of which he uses to achieve specific effects

 Prose refers to ordinary speech with no regular pattern of accentual rhythm. Prose  PROSE is used whenever verse would seem bizarre: in serious letters (Macbeth to Lady Macbeth; Hamlet to Horatio), in proclamations, and in the speeches of characters actually or pretending to be mad (Lady Macbeth; Hamlet and Ophelia; Edgar and King Lear) --MacbethHamlet

 Macbeth’s letter to Lady Macbeth  LADY MACBETH [Reads.] 1 "They met me in the day of success: and I have 2 learned by the perfect'st report, they have more in 3 them than mortal knowledge. When I burned in desire 4 to question them further, they made themselves air, 5 into which they vanished.

 Rhymed verse in Shakespeare's plays is usually in rhymed couplets, i.e. two successive lines of verse of which the final words rhyme with another. Rhymed verse

 ROMEO [To JULIET] If I profane with my unworthiest hand This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss. JULIET Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss. ROMEO Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too? JULIET Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer. ROMEO O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do; They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair. JULIET Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake. ROMEO Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.

 RHYME is often used for ritualistic or choral effects and for highly lyrical or sententious passages that give advice or point to a moral

 LADY MACBETH O, never 61 Shall sun that morrow see! 62 Your face, my thane, is as a book where men 63 May read strange matters. To beguile the time, 64 Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye, 65 Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower, 66 But be the serpent under't.

 LADY MACBETH O, never 61 Shall sun that morrow see!  Inversion because of the need to alter the order of words to fit the rhythm.  Sun -  Morrow -  See –
