anapestic

“Well done! You are natural-born poets, each and every one of you. Of course, iambic pentameter should not be confused with anapestic tetrameter, as I am sure you already know. Would anyone care to demonstrate?”

From "The Interrupted Tale" by Maryrose Wood

There occur examples of 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7-, 8-stress iambic, trochaic, anapestic, and dactylic lines, sometimes used continuously and sometimes used in combinations with other lengths.

Next after "The Schoolmistress," the most engaging of Shenstone's poems is his "Pastoral Ballad," written in 1743 in four parts and in a tripping anapestic measure.

From A History of English Romanticism in the Eighteenth Century by Henry A. (Henry Augustin) Beers

In like manner we have anapestic lines of all lengths from monometer to hexameter.

From Elementary Guide to Literary Criticism by F. V. N. (Franklin Verzelius Newton) Painter

The stresses are nearly even throughout; the meter cannot be accurately described as iambic, trochaic, or anapestic; yet there is a rhythm in the approximate temporal equality of the thought-moments.
