Given that the line length is
measured by the same system the poetic ‘’foot’’ is, we have to check the
placement of accented and unaccented syllables during, in this case, just a
poetry line. Now, since this piece of theoretical information, we can
determinate, certainly, that these three poetic lines given are pentameter long.
In order to verify it empirically, recite the poem and you will find out the
five accented syllables just fit properly.
