Answer:
Meter is defined as a unit or pattern of a stressed and unstressed syllable that offers rhythm and melody to the poetry or verse. Trochaic Tetrameter exemplifies a meter that includes four trochaic feet. A trochee comprises of one stressed(long) syllable followed by an unstressed(short) syllable. Some examples imitating this meter are as follows where one stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed one:
- "And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;"
(Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Raven')
- "Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble."
("Shakespeare's 'Macbeth'")
