VERSIFICATION is the arrangement of a certain number of syllables according to certain laws.
The feet of our verses are either iambick, as alóft, creáte; or trochaick, as hóly, lófty.
Our iambick measure comprises verses
Of four syllables,
Most good, most fair,
Or things as rare,
To call you's lost;
For all the cost
Words can bestow,
So poorly show
