After analyzing the line "And his friends were gleaming in gold and blue", we can say the following about its metric foot:
The line is NOT written in iambic pentameter.
- An iambic pentameter is a metric foot that consists of a five-time repetition of the pattern unstressed-stressed.
- In other words, the line should have an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, and that should happen five times.
- An example of iambic pentameter is (the stressed syllables are highlighted):
"My grave is like to be my wedding bed."
- However, the line we are analyzing here CANNOT be considered iambic pentameter. It does not follow the pattern exemplified above.
- Let's highlight its stressed syllables to better visualize it:
"And his friends were gleaming in gold and blue."
