This means a line of iambic pentameter has 10 syllables. There are 11 syllables in "Though every drop of water swear against it. There are 11 syllables in "And left me to a bootless inquisition". There are 6 syllables in "Good wombs have borne bad sons." This is the correct option with the 10 unstressed and stressed syllables emphasized: /too/ MUCH/ the /REIN:/ the/ STRON/gest /OATHS/ are /STRAW.
