iambic pentameter

But soft! What light through yon-der win-dow breaks?

It is the East and Ju-liet is the sun!

A-rise fair sun and kill the en-vious moon,

Who is al-rea-dy sick and pale with grief

That though her maid art far more fair than she

iambic pentameter

But soft! What light through yon-der win-dow breaks?

It is the East and Ju-liet is the sun!

A-rise fair sun and kill the en-vious moon,

Who is al-rea-dy sick and pale with grief

That though her maid art far more fair than she

Which parts are stressed?

Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,

But as for me, hélas, I may no more.

The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,

I am of them that farthest cometh behind.

Yet may I by no means my wearied mind

Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore

Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,

Sithens in a net I seek to hold the wind.

Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,

As well as I may spend his time in vain.

And graven with diamonds in letters plain

There is written, her fair neck round about:

Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,

And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.

Whoso list to hunt, I know where is an hind,

But as for me, hélas, I may no more.

The vain travail hath wearied me so sore,

I am of them that farthest cometh behind.

Yet may I by no means my wearied mind

Draw from the deer, but as she fleeth afore

Fainting I follow. I leave off therefore,

Sithens in a net I seek to hold the wind.

Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubt,

As well as I may spend his time in vain.

And graven with diamonds in letters plain

There is written, her fair neck round about:

Noli me tangere, for Caesar's I am,

And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.
