Trochee trips from long to short.
From long to long in solemn sort. Ever to keep up with Dactyl's trisyllable. Iambics march from short to long, With a leap and a bound the swift Anapests throng. Remember that it is syllables that get counted and marked, not words as such. Nor law nor duty bade me fight, Nor public men, nor cheering crowds.
