    Excerpt 1. Tetrameter.

    Excerpt 2. Tetrameter

    Excerpt 3. Trimeter

    Excerpt 3. Trimeter

    Explanation:

    In the first two Excerpts, they both consist of 8 syllables. And the last two consist of 6 syllables. What does this mean? when you have a 8 syllable line you divide that in half, it has to be even to be a Iambic. So for the last two Excerpts they have syllables of 6, dived six you get three, Trimeter also means three.
