Alternative formats of the poem METRICAL FEET.
- Text without accents:
- Trochee trips from long to short;
From long to long in solemn sort
Slow Spondee stalks; strong foot, yet ill able
Ever to keep up with Dactyl trisyllable;
Iambus moves from short to long;
With a leap and a bound the swift Anapests throng. - Image of the text in the original book:

Trochee trips from long to short;
From long to long in solemn sort
Slow Spondee stalks; strong foot, yet ill able
Ever to keep up with Dactyl trisyllable;
Iambus moves from short to long;
With a leap and a bound the swift Anapests throng.
