This is an excerpt from Sonnet 18 written by Shakespeare. If you know anything about Shakespeare's sonnets, you know that they always have a regular meter, which means that all of them are written in iambic pentameter. This means that the first syllable is unstressed, and it is followed by a stressed syllable.
So, when applied to this poem, just split the words into syllables - the first one will be unstressed (so, as, can, or, can), and the second one will be stressed (long, men, breathe, eyes, see).
(I took the penultimate line as an example)

It has been said Sojourner Truth was a trailblazer for feminism and women civil rights. How is this reflected in Ain't I a Woman
nikklg [1K]

Answer and Explanation:

In his speech, Sojourner Truth pointed to the exclusion of the cause of black women in emerging feminist movements. She says that feminist movements did not give space to black women, did not let them speak and did not address their problems. In that case she asked "Ain't I a Woman?"

Truth said she was prevented from speaking, by feminists, lest the feminist cause be confused with the black cause. According to her, this episode was very wrong, since white women claimed that feminist movements should seek to break the concept of women's fragility in relation to men, who forbade them to work and have freedoms. However, Truth affirmed that black women were never seen with fragility and never had freedom in the same way, being necessary that they also be included and heard.
