Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoyed contented least,
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee, and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising,
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
can anyone help me with this? i need to do something like this: WHEN in | disGRACE | with FOR | tune MEN'S | eyes... but im not sure if im right or not or if im even doing it correct (the CAPPED words are for which words is stressed and which one is not)

Hi, The stress is on the second of each pair of syllables. eg When IN| disGRACE | with FOR | tune AND| men's EYES. You might find the information and examples here useful.
