There are fourteen lines, organized in three units of four lines called quatrains and a final couplet of two lines. In a Shakespearean Sonnet the quatrains generally set up the situation and the couplet comments on it or sums it up. Sometimes Shakespeare wrote with a more Petrarchian setup, where the first eight lines set up the situation, and the last six take it in a different direction.
