  6. Iambic Pentameter • An “iamb” is a weak word or syllable followed by a strong word or syllable (da-DUM). • The weak/strong pair is called a foot. • Five feet make up a line. “ Infected be the air whereon they ride: And damn’d be them that trust them! I did hear” --Macbeth

  7. Sonnet #18 Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And Summer's lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd: But thy eternal Summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou growest: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
