The first line "O for a muse of fire that would ascend" contains only 4 iambs and starts with a trochee) The Prologue to Henry IV Part II has 40 lines (200 iambs more or less) and the Prologue to Pericles has 42 lines of iambic tetrameter with 4 iambs to the regular line, a total of 168, more or less.
