Iambic pentameter is not only 10 syllables, it consists of 5 iambs. Each iamb is two syllable where the first is unstressed and the second is stressed. Thereby, the pattern is: unstressed-stressed-unstressed-stressed-unstr-str-unstr-str-unstr-str Since, the first syllable "Yo" is stressed, the iambic pentameter is not perfect. Close, but no cigar.

you can change it to match iambic pentameter... no one in shakespeare plays actually read it with the stressed syllables, they read it in normal speech

The first part is true. But I do try to read Shakespeare with all the stresses in the right place :)

To be or not to be that is the question. Which has a weak ending...
