what is iambic pentameter?

Loving in truth, and fain in verse my love to show, 

That the dear She might take some pleasure of my pain, 

Pleasure might cause her read, reading might make her know, 

Knowledge might pity win, and pity grace obtain, 

I sought fit words to paint the blackest face of woe, 

Studying inventions fine, her wits to entertain, 

Oft turning others’ leaves, to see if thence would flow 

Some fresh and fruitful showers upon my sunburned brain. 

But words came halting forth, wanting Invention’s stay: 

Invention, Nature’s child, fled step-dame Study’s blows, 

And others’ feet still seemed but strangers in my way. 

Thus great with child to speak, and helpless in my throes, 

Biting my truant pen, beating myself for spite: 

“Fool,” said my Muse to me, “look in thy heart and write.” 

Was this poem easy to write for the poet?

what does the poet hope to achieve with this poem?

What does the muse tell the poet to do?

Give some examples of alliteration from this poem

Not at first sight, nor with a dribbèd shot,

   Love gave the wound which while I breathe will bleed:

   But known worth did in mine of time proceed,

Till by degrees it had full conquest got.

I saw, and liked; I liked, but lovèd not;

   I loved, but straight did not what love decreed:

   At length to love’s decrees I, forced, agreed,

Yet with repining at so partial lot.

   Now even that footstep of lost liberty

Is gone, and now like slave-born Muscovite

I call it praise to suffer tyranny;

And now employ the remnant of my wit

   To make myself believe that all is well,

   While with a feeling skill I paint my hell.
