Read Sonnet 29, by William Shakespeare
As you read the sonnet that I have printed for you, show me where the following things are:
1. a stanza (use arrows)
2. a couplet
3. an accented syllable and an unaccented syllable
4. what does iambic mean?
5. what is pentameter?
6. write in the rhyme scheme for the entire poem using letters (A's and B's, etc.)
Then, at the bottom of the paper, translate the poem into modern English (to the best of your ability!)
