    It really depends on the excerpt that you have been given. Is this the one? I found in somewhere on the Internet.

    The Bridegroom's doors are opened wide,

    And I am next of kin;

    The guests are met, the feast is set:

    May'st hear the merry din.'

    If this is the excerpt you have, then the answer is simple - alternating tetrameter and trimeter. Tetrameter means that there are 4 meters in one line, and given that one meter consists of two syllables, that would mean that there are 8 syllables in one line. Similarly, trimeter means that there are 3 meters, or 6 syllables in one line.
