Read shakespeare's "sonnet 100.”

where art thou, muse, that thou forget'st so long
to speak of that which gives thee all thy might?
spend'st thou thy fury on some worthless song,
darkening thy power to lend base subjects light?
return, forgetful muse, and straight redeem
in gentle numbers time so idly spent;
sing to the ear that doth thy lays esteem
and gives thy pen both skill and argument.
rise, resty muse, my love's sweet face survey,
if time have any wrinkle graven there;
if any, be a satire to decay,
and make time's spoils despised every where.
give my love fame faster than time wastes life;
so thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife.

A couplet is a pair of lines joined together usually through rhyme. The only rhyming couplet in Shakespeare's "Sonnet 100" is "Give my love fame faster than Time wastes life;/So thou prevent'st his scythe and crooked knife."

An iamb is a metric foot that has one unstressed syllable then a stressed syllable. Examples of iambs are "Where art", "Return", "And gives". An iamb can only be made up of two syllables. A syllable is one vowel SOUND (not vowel). The word "where" only has one syllable even though it has two vowels. "Return" has two syllables.

Pentameter is a line of poetry with 5 metrical feet. If only one line of the poem is underlined pentameter is your answer.

A quatrain is a group of four lines in a poem. Shakespeare's sonnets are often made up of three quatrains and an ending couplet. If they are not separated by stanzas, they can also be separated by punctuation. The first quatrain is in the format of two questions. They are the only questions asked. The second and third quatrains are both long sentences.
