उत्तर
Stanza 1: 'I 'wrote some 'lines once 'on a 'time In 'won-drous 'mer-ry 'mood, And 'thought, as u-'su-al, 'men would 'say They were ex-'ceed-ing 'good.
Stanza 3: “'These to the 'print-er,” 'I ex-'claimed, And, 'in my 'hu-mor-ous 'way, 'I 'add-ed ('as a 'tri-fling 'jest,) “There’ll 'be the 'dev-il to 'pay.”
Explanation:
- Stressed syllables are marked where the voice naturally emphasises sound (e.g., “I,” “wrote,” “lines”).
- Students would underline these in their notebooks with a colored pen.
