Answer:

a line of verse with five metrical feet, each consisting of one short (or unstressed) syllable followed by one long (or stressed) syllable, for example Two households, both alike in dignity. Iambic pentameter  is a type of metric line used in traditional English poetry and verse drama. The term describes the rhythm, or meter, established by the words in that line; rhythm is measured in small groups of syllables called "feet". "Iambic" refers to the type of foot used, here the iamb, which in English indicates an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. "Pentameter" indicates a line of five "feet".

Explanation:

  • Example #1: Macbeth (By William Shakespeare)
  • Example #2: Ode to Autumn (By John Keats)
  • Example #3: Holy Sonnet XIV (By John Donne)
  • Example #4: Twelfth Night (By William Shakespeare)
  • Example #5: My Last Duchess (By Robert Browning)
