Meter in poetry is the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. stressed syllables are signified by / unstressed by u There are multiple meter patterns but the four most prevalent are: iambic: u / trochaic: / u dactylic: / u u anapestic: u u / Word examples: Iamb (u /): hello Trochee (/ u): under Dactyl (/ u u): canopy Anapest (u u / ): understand Poetry examples: Iambic (u / u / u / u / u /): Shall I compare thee to a summers day Trochaic (/ u / u / u / u): Double, double, toil and trouble Dactylic (/ u u / u u): Take her up tenderly Anapestic (u u / u u / u u / u u /): So I walk by the edge of a lake in my dream
As always, Shakespeare makes use of a good deal of blank verse, which is to say unrhymed iambic pentameter. The verses in the caskets and the comments of Morocco and Aragon thereon are in trochaic tetrameter, without the weak beat of the last trochee, as Dum-da Dum-da Dum-da Dum. The rhythm of "Tell me where is fancy bred" is similar: it may be scanned as iambic tetrameter as well as trochaic.
iambic meter
anapestic
The meter marked the opposite of iambic is trochaic. In trochaic meter, the stress falls on the first syllable of each foot (e.g., "Tro-chee"), whereas in iambic meter, the stress falls on the second syllable of each foot (e.g., "pa-RADE").
"Blatant" does not follow a consistent iambic or trochaic meter as it contains two syllables and does not strictly adhere to these metrical patterns.

According to http://www.cranberrydesigns.com/poetry/glossary.htm, trochaic inversionInserting a trochee (foot with stressed/unstressed pattern) into a line that is written with iambic meter. A trochaic inversion can serve to provide relief from the weak-strong pattern of iamb. It can also serve to reverse expectations or the flow of the poem. Here is an example of a trochaic inversion (the trochee is bolded): "Lillies that fester, smell far worse than weeds."
"But soft" is an example of iambic meter, with the stress falling on the second syllable of each word ("soft" is stressed, "but" is unstressed). This is a common metrical pattern in Shakespeare's poetry, where each foot consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.
