Stressed (/) and unstressed (u) syllables in Sonnet 73...?

harmony

I'm studying rhyme and meter in Sonnet 73, and I'm having trouble analyzing these 3 lines in particular.

In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire
That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire

This is what I got:
In (u) me (/) thou (u) see'st (/) the (u) glow(/)ing(u) of(u) such (/) fire(/)
That (/) on (u) the (u) ash (/) es (u) of (u) his (/) youth (/) doth (u) lie (/),
As (u) the (u) death(/) bed(u) where (/) on (u) it (u) must (/) ex (u) pire (/).

I've been going back and forth with many syllables, and I'm just making myself more confused. I could use a fresh set of ears to go over it and give me his or her opinion.
