| Re Measure for Measure: I think it's pretty average among Shakespeare's play in terms of both percentage of rhyming couplets and in terms of percentage of prose as opposed to verse. It certainly isn't mostly in rhyming couplets, and while there's plenty of verse, there are also some major sections that are largely or entirely in prose. The Duke has one longish monologue — the end of III, ii — that's all rhyming couplets, but otherwise there are few places where there are rhyming couplets, except at the end of most but by no means all scenes (with a couple of them being rhyming quatrains). |
