“A trochee is a metrical foot of two syllables, the first long and the second short.”

“If a trochee is used in the first place of a dipody, the iambic movement of the verse is not seriously impeded.”

“This is matched by the metre where, however, intricate use of trochees and dactyls gives a song-like quality to the verse.”

“In poetry, Choriambi are never used alone, but always combined with other metrical 'feet' such as spondees, trochees and dactyls.”

“The ithyphallic, which was marked by a succession of three trochees at the end of the line, was the most distinguished.”
