When looking for rhyming couplets in Shakespeare the best place to look is at the end of a scene, or a spot where someone exits. Strangely none of the five scenes in Act 4 ends in a couplet. Scene one comes close, though. If you ignore the final part line "Farewell, dear father" the two previous lines are:
Fr. L: To Mantua, with my letters to thy Lord.
Jul: Love give me strength and strength shall help afford.
One of my favourite couplets in this same scene comes up in Juliet's banter with Paris:
Paris: That "may be" must be, love on Thursday next.
Jul: What must be shall be. Fr. L: That's a certain text.
End of Act 1, scene 2:
"And after this let Caesar seat him sure,
For we will shake him, or worse days endure."

Sonnets usually utilize iambic pentameter.But sometimes you must try to bediscreet.(Italics added to show stress)

This is called "free verse" and resembles ungrammatical prose that has been broken into lines. It is designed, as is rhymed poetry, to impart meaning by the arrangement of words and concepts.
