| Sometimes, a dreadful thought comes over me that I may have been guilty of the immoral effeminacy of using trochaic and tribrachic movements. |
| Common metrical patterns in both poetry and music are iambic, trochaic, dactylic, amphibrachic, anapaestic, spondaic, and tribrachic. |
| If the range of pure tribrachic measure, or of tribrachs intermingled with trochees, appears much wider in our song-books than in volumes of poetry written to be read. |
