http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iambic_tetrameter .... An Iamb is a metrical foot which goes [unstressed stressed]. A tetrameter has four of these. The best known English poem in Iambic Tetrameter is Butler's Hudibras: 'Tis strange how some mens' tempers suit/ (Like bawd and brandy) with dispute,/ That for their own opinions stand last/ Only to have them claw'd and canvast;/ That keep their consciences in cases,/ As fiddlers do their crowds and bases,/ Ne'er to be us'd, but when they're bent/ To play a fit for argument;/ It is a good metre for satire.
