Just look at the last words of each line: day, temperate, May, date, shines, dimm'd, declines, untrimm'd, fade, owest, shade, growest, see, thee. Then check to see which words rhyme with each other: "day" rhymes with "May", so we say that both of those lines have rhyme "a"; "temperate" and "date" rhyme so we call these two lines rhyme "b". Therefore the rhyme scheme of the first four lines is abab. You can figure out the rest in about two seconds: it's a typical Shakespearean Sonnet.

It is a sentence in English, using modern words except the obsolete (but still used) pronoun "thee", for which we can substitute "you". It means "Shall I compare you to a summer's day?" If that is not clear, you need a lesson in how to read English, which means you don't understand my answer either.
