Iambic trimeter

Iambic trimeter is a meter of poetry consisting of three iambic units per line. In ancient Greek poetry and Latin poetry, iambic trimeter is a quantitative meter, in which a line consists of three iambic metra and each metron consists of two iambi, though substitutions were common, such as spondees or tribrachs for iambs. In the dramatic forms of tragedy and comedy, it was used mainly for the verses "spoken" by a character, that is, the dialogue rather than the choral passages. It is also commonly found in iambus or 'blame poetry' though it is not the only meter for that genre. In the accentual-syllabic verse of English, German, and other languages, iambic trimeter is a meter consisting of three iambs per line.
