In the first line, it is pronounced MAR-gar-ET. In the final line, without accents, it would be pronounced MAR-gar-et or MAR-gret.

No, it ain't. But if you have to read it that
way and enjoy ruining the line, go right ahead.
Free country, more or less.

In the manuscript, there is an accent on the first A and the E -- so how else would it be pronounced? With those two syllables taking a stress, you must pronounce the middle syllable without a stress.
