Read this excerpt from the poem "Prospect of the Future Glory of America" by John Trumbull and answer the questions that follow in one or two sentences. To views far distant and to scenes more bright, Along the vale of Time extend thy sight, Where hours and days and years from yon dim pole, Wave following wave in long succession roll, There see, in pomp for ages without end, The glories of the Western World ascend. See, this blest land in orient morn appears, Waked from the slumber of six thousand years, While clouds of darkness veil'd each cheering ray; To savage beasts and savage men, a prey. Fair Freedom now her ensigns bright displays, And peace and plenty bless the golden days. In radiant state th' imperial realm shall rise, Her splendor circling to the boundless skies; Of every Fair she boasts the assembled charms, The Queen of empires and the nurse of arms. Part A What is the meter of this poem?

Iambic pentameter is a form of metric line employed in customary English poetry and verse drama. It express the rhythm, or meter, created by the words in the considered line; rhythm is estimated in little groups of syllables known as "feet".

It is a line of verse that as five metrical feet, with each having a short (can be called unstressed) syllable ensued by a long (can be called stressed) syllable, take for instance, Two households, both alike in dignity.

We can infer that the meter here is in iambic pentameter due to the fact that each line possesses ten syllables with its rhythm obeying the iambic patter. It implies that the stress found in each syllable switches between unstressed then stressed. We can see five sets of iambs (a group of syllables: unstressed then stressed) in the given lines.
