Answer:

1. iambic = unstressed/stressed arrangement

2. dactylic = stressed/unstressed/unstressed arrangement

3. trochaic = stressed/unstressed arrangement

4. anapestic = unstressed/unstressed/stressed arrangement

Explanation:

An iamb is a metrical foot that contains two syllables - the first one is unstressed, and the one that follows it is stressed. An example would be:

To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield. (the bolded syllables are stressed).

Iamb is usually coupled with a pentameter to create iambic pentameter which Shakespeare often used in his poetry and plays.

A dactyl is a metrical foot that contains three syllables - the first one is long (stressed), and it is followed by two short (unstressed) syllables. An example would be:

Just for a handful of silver he left us and...

This is a metrical foot that is most commonly found in the English language.

A trochee is a metrical foot that contains two syllables - the first one is stressed, and it is followed by an unstressed syllable. An example would be:

Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December

A trochee is a direct opposite of an iamb (being completely different from it).

An anapest is a metrical foot that contains three syllables - the first two are short (unstressed), and they are followed by a long (stressed) syllable. An example would be:

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house

Just like a trochee is a direct opposite of an iamb, anapest is a direct opposite of a dactyl.

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

This is Shakespeare's Sonnet 45.

In this sonnet, he finds himself in continous fluctuation between joy and sorrow. This is as a result of the absence of the one he loved. His thoughts were always moving to and fro between him and his love.

Actually, this sonnet relates to his previous sonnet. He finds that his thoughts and desires are not so much in himself, as with his beloved (hence present-absent.)

Substances were said to be made up of fire, air, earth and water. But when a substance is deprived of two of them, air and fire, (the other two) which correspond to thought and desire, the body responds and sinks into melancholy and decay.
