raga qlkn mi aiuti...
di qst sonetto di shakespeare mi sapreste risp a ste domande...
1)how many stressed syllables are there to each line?
2)whAt is the name of metrical foot?

When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silver'd o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

Dovrebbe essere così:
1) each sonnet line consists of ten syllables.

2)foot is called Five feet of iambic; verse is called: iambic pentameter, The basic meter in English is iambic pentameter, a line containing 5 iambs:
"When I do count the clock that tells the time"
/ when I/ do COUNT/ the CLOCK/ that TELLS/ the TIME/
/ iamb/ iamb/ iamb/ iamb/ iamb/
The syllables are divided into five pairs called iambs or iambic feet. An iamb is a metrical unit made up of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. An example of an iamb would be good BYE. A line of iambic pentameter flows like this:
baBOOM / baBOOM / baBOOM / baBOOM / baBOOM.
Here are some examples from the sonnets:
When I / do COUNT / the CLOCK / that TELLS / the TIME (Sonnet 12)
Shakespeare’s plays are also written primarily in iambic pentameter, but the lines are unrhymed and not grouped into stanzas. Unrhymed iambic pentameter is called blank verse. It should be noted that there are also many prose passages in Shakespeare’s plays and some lines of trochaic tetrameter, such as the Witches' speeches in Macbeth.
