The element of a sonnet that these two lines show is the Iambic Pentameter because each line is written with both stressed and unstressed syllables with 10 beats in total for the whole line. An Iambic Pentameter is a poetic meter consisting of 10 beats per line made up alternating stressed and unstressed syllables. As you can read aloud every syllable that forms the line; for example: For (1) thy (2) sweet (3) love (4) re- (5) mem- (6) ber'd (7) such (8) wealth (9) brings. (10)
That (1) then (2) I (3) scorn (4) to (5) change (6) my (7) state (8) with (9) kings. (10)
