    Oo I recently learned meter in school. Sorry, I didn't see this question earlier. I believe this section of the Sonnet 18 is written in Iambic Pentameter. We know it is iambic because we are able to stress every other syllable.

    Just a little hint: Not all, but most poems are written in iambic. Even a lot of pop songs now-a-days are written in iambic meter; )

    I believe Shakespeare had about 150 sonnets and only a few were not written in iambic. Crazy.
