Hello!
I've looked for any similar thread, and even though there are a few, this one is not about creative writing, so I decided to start a new thread.
I am working on my dissertation about John Fletcher's Jacobean play called The Tamer Tamed, which is meant to be a sequel to The Taming of the Shrew. Now, since I'm not a native speaker, I find it really really difficult to recognize blank verses and, thus, iambic pentameter. I mean, in theory I can (five couples of unstressed-stressed syllables > de dum de dum de dum de dum de dum), but in actual fact I cannot. Can anyone who has read the play tell me if the Tamer is blank-versed? Or, alternatively, I could copy&paste some lines here, if I'm allowed to.

Swear as you hate Moroso, that's the surest,
And as you have a Christian fear to find him
Worse than a poor dried Jack, full of more aches
Than autumn has, more knavery, and usury,
And foolery, and brokery than Dogs' Ditch
and so on and so forth...
Can anyone help me, please? Thank you in advance.
