In poetry a word ending with ed is sometimes given an extra syllable. So some people would pronounce ringed as one syllable and others would pronounce it as ring-ed which would be two syllables.

Tennyson would want his poetry to scan so that the rhythm of the lines to be right. An extra syllable could spoil the rhythm.

Alfred Tennyson used the apostrophe in "ring'd" to add a poetic or archaic flair to the word, as was common in 19th-century literature. This stylistic choice helped to enhance the rhythm and meter of the poem and added emphasis to the word.
