A couplet is 2 lines of verse that rhyme. William Blake's poem, "Three Things to Remember", is composed of 3 couplets: 

                    A Robin Redbreast in a cage

                    Puts all of Heaven in a rage.

                    A skylark wounded on the wing

                    Doth make a cherub cease to sing.

                    He who shall hurt the little wren

                    Shall never be beloved by men.

 robin          skylark         wren. . .   so cute!

In his poem, Blake warns the reader that there is a consequence for mistreating God's creatures.
