Answer:

Iambic pentameter

Explanation:

An iambic meter refers to lines of poetry containing iambs. An iamb is a metrical foot (a group of syllables) that has one UNSTRESSED syllable followed by a stressed syllable. Depending on the number of iambs that there are per line, they can be classified into dimeter (two iambs per line), trimester (three), tetrameter (four), pentameter (five) or hexameter (6).

In the passage, the meter that is most used is iambic pentameter and iambic tetrameter. To prove this, down below you'll find the passage with the stressed syllables underlined and in bold font, the ones that are in normal font, are the unstressed syllables:

From forth the fatal loins of these two foes = 5

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; = 5

Whose misadventured piteous overthrows = 4

Do with their death bury their parents' strife. = 4

How does the author’s use of stanzas affect the meaning of “A Thousand Martyrs”? Use evidence from the poem to support your resp

IRINA_888 [86]

We are presented with a libertine speaker talking of many lovers. He suggests that, though he has spoken about the pain of love, it is only ‘Love’s pleasures’ that he cares about. As such, he has ‘betrayed’ ‘a thousand beauties’. He claims to have been a callous and deceiving lover, telling ‘the fair’ about the ‘wounds and smart’ they long to hear of, then ‘laughing’ and leaving. The poem is written in three elegant septets. Notice the iambic tetrameter and consider how important form might be to the theme of this particular kind of love and betrayal.

This speaker may not be entirely honest. The final stanza begins with ‘Alone’. Is there any sense of regret here? The speaker claims to be ‘Without the hell’ of love, yet in the same line we find reference to the ‘heaven of joy’. He may even also sacrificed his joy with his promiscuous love.
