Read the excerpt from "ode: intimations of immortality from recollections of early childhood" by william wordsworth. use scansion to determine which two lines are written in iambic tetrameter. (an iambic foot is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. tetrameter indicates that the pattern repeats four times in the line.) there was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, the earth, and every common sight, to me did seem apparell'd in celestial light, the glory and the freshness of a dream. it is not now as it hath been of yore; — turn wheresoe'er i may, by night or day, the things which i have seen i now can see no more.

explanation:

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
