Scansion (28 - 29):

• (28) "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary": Analyze syllables (e.g., "Once" (1), "upon" (2), "a" (3), "mid" (4), "night" (5), "dre" (6), "ary" (7); "while" (1), "I" (2), "pon" (3), "dered" (4), "weak" (1), "and" (2), "weary" (3)). Feet (e.g., iambic? Check stress: "Once" (unstressed - stressed? Wait, "Once" (O) is unstressed, "upon" (u - pon: u unstressed, pon stressed? Maybe iambic pentameter? Wait, "Once upon a midnight dreary" has 10 syllables (iambic pentameter: 5 iambs). Scansion pattern: / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ (for "Once upon a midnight dreary") – but need to mark stress. Let's break: "Once (˘) upon (/) a (˘) mid (/) night (˘) dre (/) ary (˘), while (˘) I (/) pon (˘) dered (/), weak (˘) and (/) weary (˘)". Wait, maybe better to count syllables and feet. Each line: "Once upon a midnight dreary" – 10 syllables (5 iambs: ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘). "while I pondered" – 5 syllables (˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘? Wait, "while" (˘ /), "I" (˘ /? No, "I" is one syllable, stressed? Maybe "while (˘ /) I (/) pon (˘ /) dered (/)". "weak and weary" – 3 syllables? Wait, "weak" (˘ /), "and" (˘ /), "weary" (˘ /)? No, "weak" (1), "and" (2), "weary" (3). Maybe the first line is iambic pentameter (10 syllables, 5 iambs: ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘), second part "while I pondered" – 5 syllables (˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘? "while" (˘ /), "I" (/) – no, "I" is stressed, "while" unstressed: ˘ / I (/) pon (˘ /) dered (/) – maybe. "weak and weary" – 3 syllables: "weak" (˘ /), "and" (˘ /), "weary" (˘ /)? No, "weak" (1), "and" (2), "weary" (3) – stress on "weak", "weary". So scansion pattern: for "Once upon a midnight dreary" – ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ (iambic pentameter). For "while I pondered" – ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘? Wait, maybe I'm overcomplicating. The key is to mark rhythm (stressed / unstressed) and feet (e.g., iambic: ˘ /).

• (29) "Their flag to April's breeze unfurled": Syllables: "Their" (1), "flag" (2), "to" (3), "April's" (4), "breeze" (5), "unfurled" (6). Stress: "Their" (˘), "flag" (/), "to" (˘), "April's" (/), "breeze" (˘), "unfurled" (/). So feet: ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / (iambic trimeter? 3 iambs? Wait, 6 syllables: 3 iambs: ˘ / ˘ / ˘ /. Scansion pattern: ˘ / ˘ / ˘ /.

Scansion (28 - 29):

(28) Scansion pattern (example): For "Once upon a midnight dreary" – ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ (iambic pentameter, 10 syllables, 5 iambs); "while I pondered" – ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ (5 syllables, 5 iambs? Wait, no, "while I pondered" has 5 syllables: "while" (1), "I" (2), "pon" (3), "dered" (4) – wait, maybe I miscounted. Correct syllables: "Once" (1), "upon" (2), "a" (3), "mid" (4), "night" (5), "dreary" (6,7); "while" (8), "I" (9), "pondered" (10,11,12); "weak" (13), "and" (14), "weary" (15,16). Wait, maybe the first line is 10 syllables (iambic pentameter: ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / ˘), second part "while I pondered, weak and weary" – 9 syllables? Maybe my initial approach is off. Alternatively, mark each syllable's stress:
"Once (˘) upon (/) a (˘) mid (/) night (˘) dre (/) ary (˘), while (˘) I (/) pon (˘) dered (/), weak (˘) and (/) weary (˘)".

(29) "Their (˘) flag (/) to (˘) April's (/) breeze (˘) unfurled (/)". Scansion pattern: ˘ / ˘ / ˘ / (iambic trimeter, 6 syllables, 3 iambs).
