Courtesy of David Payne, who tracked this delightful guide down in
Brander Mathews' Study in Versification.
According to Mathews, this verse was written by Samuel T. for Hartley
Coleridge.
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 trisyllable.
Iambics march from short to long;
With a leap and a bound, the swift Anapests
throng;
One syllable long with a short at each side
Amphibrachys hastes with stately stride:
First and last begin long, middle short, Amphimacer
Strikes his thundering hoofs like a proud high-bred racer.
Incidentally, Doug Beeferman offers
a handy online rhyming dictionary for anyone addicted to fixed form
poetry.
Here are the University of Georgia, of course, we're very fond
of the contemporary poetry magazine,
Verse since one of the editors is a colleague of ours.
