Answer:

Main Words

Explanation:

In an Iambic pentameter, the verses alternate between stressed and unstressed syllables. In this case, the unstressed syllables are often prepositions, conjunctions, and articles. As follows the example:

"To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells"

It begins with "to" being unstressed, then alternates.
