iambic pentameter help
When in disgrace with fortune men’s eyes,
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoyed contented least,
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising,
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
can anyone help me with this?
i need to do something like this: WHEN in | disGRACE | with FOR | tune MEN'S | eyes...
but im not sure if im right or not or if im even doing it correct (the CAPPED words are for which words is stressed and which one is not)
please help! Thank you!
