Answer:
First Stanza
The first verse establishes what is happening, when and where it is happening, and in what environmental circumstances. It is Christmas time and strolling minstrels are performing outside a cottage on a clear moonlit night
At the beginning of line 4, a trochee (two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllables breaks the established pattern rhythm.
Note, however, that if the poem is spoken in a colloquial voice it is possible for line 4 to revert to the rhythm pattern of the three preceding lines.Similarly, the ten iambs in line 6 can be spoken in a colloquial voice that maintains the pattern of eight iambs.
The trochee emphasises the three-syllable word encircling, pointing the reader to the subtle reference to a laurel wreath.
There are several possible explanations for the inclusion of laurels in the poem
The leaves may have been worn in wreaths worn on the heads of the minstrels
The poet may have been referring to laurel bushes in the garden
Laurel leaves might have been crafted in wreaths used to decorate the doors of the house
