Question

choose the poem that uses trochaic meter. and oft some distant tinkling tells of muleteers, with wagon bells that jangle sweet across the maize, and green agave stalks that raise double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and caldron bubble. cool it with a baboons blood, then the charm is firm and good. from evaleen stein, \in mexico\ and from william shakespeare, \macbeth\

Explanation:

A trochaic meter consists of a stressed - syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. In "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble. Cool it with a baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good.", the pattern of stressed - unstressed syllables is consistent, which is characteristic of trochaic meter. In the lines from "In Mexico", the meter is not trochaic.

Answer:

The lines from William Shakespeare's "Macbeth": "Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and caldron bubble. Cool it with a baboon's blood, Then the charm is firm and good."
