Question

What type of rhyme is used by Shakespeare in these lines from "Sonnet 34?"

And make me travel forth without my cloak,
To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way,
Hiding thy bravery in their rotten smoke?

Answer 1

Internal rhyme

Slant rhyme

Identical rhyme

End rhyme

Answer 2

What's he saying?

"Why didst thou promise such a beauteous day, / And make me travel forth without my cloak,"
means Why did you tell me it was going to be a nice day, so that I went outside without a coat,

"To let base clouds o'ertake me in my way, / Hiding thy bravery in their rotten smoke?"
means When in fact, the day was overcast, and I couldn't see your beauty?
