Answer 1

My mother bore me in the southern wild, (Iambic Pentameter)

Like Honus Wagner or like Tyrus Cobb. (Iambic Pentameter)

The two were still but one, (Iambic Trimeter)

Is this a holy thing to see, (Iambic Tetrameter)

'Tis morning; and the sun with ruddy orb (Iambic Pentameter)

The wind blew high,
the waters raved, (Iambic Tetrameter)

It powders all the Wood. (Iambic Trimeter)

Nor for itself hath any care, (Iambic Tetrameter)

This is super easy, you just have to count the syllables! :) If it is 10 syllables, it is Iambic Pentameter, or 5 sets of Iambs (a stressed then unstressed syllable). if it is 8 syllables, it is Iambic Tetrameter, or 4 sets of Iambs. If it is 6 syllables, it will be Iambic Trimeter, or 3 sets of Iambs.

An iambic pentameter is a form of a metrical line in which each line contains five unstressed syllables followed by five stressed syllables. They are usually arranged in an alternating pattern. An iambic trimeter is a form of metrical line in which the line contains three iambic feet. An iamb is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed. And when there are four iambs in a line, it is called iambic tetrameter.
