Trochaic in verse

For example, a dactyl is a metrical foot of three syllableswith the first stressed, and the secondand third unstressed.Dactyls can create linesthat move swiftly and gather force,as in Robert Browning's poem, The Lost Leader.Just for a handful of silver he left us.Just for a rib and to stick in his coat.Another kind of foot is the two-syllable long trochee,a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed one.The trochees in these lines from Shakespeare's Macbethlend an ominous and spooky toneto the witches' chant.Double, double, toil and trouble;fire burn and cauldron bubble.
