Not really. An anapest is a 3 syllable foot with the first 2 unstressed, and the 3rd stressed. As in Lord Byron's "...and his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold" and his CO horts were GLEA ming in PUR ple and GOLD. You may be hearing: un FOR tu nate LY. The tunately part might be anapestic; the LY is a weak stress at best. Good verse doesn't stick blindly to a given rhythm. While the underlying feet in Lord Byron's line are strong anapests, a good reader would not force them. Often, the rhythms become very subtle, and can be beautifully stretched and bent. the ear tires regularity.
