Answer:
Shakespeare's sonnet stays true to the English sonnet's structured form. A typical English sonnet has 14 lines, as does this one. The rhyme scheme, which is a rhyming pattern created by rhyming the words at the ends of each line, is ABAB, CDCD, EFEF, GG.
Answer:
cdcd
Explanation:
According to the whole poem of Sonnet 71, the answer is "cdcd" ie C part.
Reason:- Let us see the whole poem first :-
No longer mourn for me when I am dead (a)
Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell (b)
Give warning to the world that I am fled (a)
From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell (b)
---------
Nay, if you read this line, remember not (c)
The hand that writ it; for I love you so, (d)
That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot, (c)
If thinking on me then should make you woe. (d)

Now, what does this abab and cdcd signify depends on the type of rhyming words used. The first dead rhymes with fled; bell with dwell
The second para not with forgot; so with woe. (Woe is pronounced as "wo")
That's why, the required answer is cdcd
