Mnemonic for meter
Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "Metrical Feet"
'
Trochee
trips from long to short;
From long to long in solemn sort
Slow Spondee stalks, strong foot!, yet ill able
Ever to come up with
Dactyl's
trisyllable.
Iambics
march from short to long.
With a leap and a bound the swift
Anapests
throng.' (1-5)
