What is the dominant meter of the following lines from john milton's "paradise lost"?
"of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste
brought death into the world, and all our woe,
with loss of eden, till one greater man"
dactylic
iambic
trochaic
anapestic

explanation:

the silver bells of the sleds are merry and keep time in the winter nights while the sky twinkles happily. the golden bells of weddings are delightful in their peaceful happiness, foretelling a rapturous future. meanwhile, the brazen alarm bells scream frightfully in the night, with a discordant and desperate sound. in their clamor, these bells convey terror, horror, and anger. finally, the iron bells are solemn and melancholy, while those in the church steeple are like ghouls who feel happiness. the king of the ghouls, who rings the bells, cheerfully keeps time with the moaning and groaning bells.

yes the first one is correct .
