Solution

The line "Admit impediments. Love is not love" from William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 116" is an example of consonance using the /t/ sound. The /t/ sound is repeated in "Admit", "impediments", "not", and "it". This repetition of the same consonant sound in close proximity, especially at the end of words, is what defines consonance.
