Take and word are stressed, the rest unstressed.
The stressed syllable is the 4th syllable ("lahp"), as (en-sef-uh-LAHP-uh-thee).
The best you wish in thee is thee that wish
Thee and thou mean "you" in old english.
And shepherds we shall be for Thee my Lord for Thee, Power hath descended forth from Thine hand that our feet may swiftly carry-out Thy command, And we shall flow a river forth to Thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be, For Thee my Lord for Thee. In Nomine Et Patri, Et Filii, Spiritus Sancti
The spelling "thee" is an archaic term for "you" (opposite case is thou, possessives thy and thine).
....In verse and poetry, meter is a recurring pattern of stressed (accented, or long) and unstressed (unaccented, or short) syllables in lines of a set length. For example, suppose a line contains ten syllables (set length) in which the first syllable is unstressed, the second is stressed, the third is unstressed, the fourth is stressed, and so on until the line reaches the tenth syllable. The line would look like the following one (the opening line of Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18") containing a pattern of unstressed and stressed syllables. The unstressed syllables are in blue and the stressed syllables in red.Shall I com PARE thee TO a SUM mer's DAY?Each pair of unstressed and stressed syllables makes up a unit called a foot. The line contains five feet in all, as shown next:....1.............. 2.................3..............4................ 5Shall.I..|..com.PARE..|..thee.TO..|..a.SUM..|..mer's DAY?
The poem "To My Dear and Loving Husband" is an example of iambic pentameter because each line of the poem can be divided into five groups or feel (the pentameter). It also has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (the iamb).
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day" from Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 is a famous example of a line written in iambic pentameter. It consists of ten syllables with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable pattern.
If you cannot hear the stresses of the syllables in lines of iambic pentameter, you need to find a piece of music with an iambic rhythm. The Christmas song "I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing In" is a good one. Or the theme from The Adams Family, which is three iambs and an extra unstressed beat. Instead of singing "They're creepy and they're kooky", sing "Shall I compare thee to a" instead. Unfortunately, although there are iambic songs, most of these are not in iambic pentameter, so either you are going to have to stop in mid-tune (as you do with I Saw Three Ships, which has a phrase of eight iambs) or the music stops before the line does (as with the Adams Family, which has only three and a half iambs). However, they should give you a feel for where the stresses are. Rhythm in music and rhythm in poetry are similar in that both are easier to understand when you hear them than when you see them on a printed page.
No. It is usually a schwa or unstressed "the" except when it precedes a vowel sound, or when deliberately stressed for oratorical reasons. The similar word "thee" always has a long E.
Meter in poetry is the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. stressed syllables are signified by / unstressed by u There are multiple meter patterns but the four most prevalent are: iambic: u / trochaic: / u dactylic: / u u anapestic: u u / Word examples: Iamb (u /): hello Trochee (/ u): under Dactyl (/ u u): canopy Anapest (u u / ): understand Poetry examples: Iambic (u / u / u / u / u /): Shall I compare thee to a summers day Trochaic (/ u / u / u / u): Double, double, toil and trouble Dactylic (/ u u / u u): Take her up tenderly Anapestic (u u / u u / u u / u u /): So I walk by the edge of a lake in my dream
No, the second syllable is stressed. (uhn-wur-thee)
An example of iambic pentameter is the line "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?" from William Shakespeare's Sonnet 18. This line consists of five iambs (unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable), making it iambic pentameter.
"Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?"
Yes, Sonnet 73 is written in iambic pentameter. It consists of 14 lines, with each line containing 10 syllables following the pattern of unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable (iambic) and five metrical feet in total (pentameter).
An iamb in this poem is the same as in any other poem, it is part of the rhythm of the poem where two syllables together are stressed in a particular way. The first syllable is a light and the second a heavy beat, de-dum.Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
It has (4) Thee-all-oh-gee.
