The sentence has two clauses: "Please watch the babies" and "while Mother takes a nap". (You didn't underline a clause so I'm going to explain both of them).
First Clause: "Please watch the babies"
This is an independent clause. You can identify independent clauses when you read it and it has a full idea already. It can stand without another clause to back it up.
Second Clause: "while Mother takes a nap"
This is a subordinate clause. Subordinate clauses usually start with a conjunction. You'll see that the given clause starts with "while", which is a conjunction.

Trochaic Octameter.
Explanation:
Trochaic octameter is the poetic foot of a line in poetry where there are eight feet/ syllables per line. The foot of each word has two syllables where a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable.
In the given poetry of Edgar Allen Poe, the lines all contain stressed syllables followed by unstressed syllables, alternating between the two. This is evident in the first lines of the poem-
<em>Once</em><em> up</em><em>on </em><em>a </em><em>mid</em><em>night </em><em>drear</em><em>y, </em>
<em>while </em><em>I </em><em>pond</em><em>ered </em><em>weak</em><em> and </em><em>wear</em><em>y,</em>
The ones in bold signify the stressed syllables while the rest are the unstressed syllables.
