		The other numerous collections of the middle and late seventeenth and the early eighteenth centuries, from the Musarum Deliciae of Mennes [Minnes] and Smith to the Pills to Purge Melancholy of Tom D’Urfey, testify at once to the popularity of the movement and to the increasing skill of poets in it.

		But it is probable that in many, if not most, cases, and certain that in some, the writers thought of their movement as dactylic.

		The basic template for both lines is anapaestic tetrameter: four feet, each consisting of two short syllables then a long syllable (duh-duh-DAH, duh-duh-DAH, duh-duh-DAH, duh-duh-DAH).
		The second anapaest in the first line is replaced with a trochee (DAH-duh).
		Two short syllables are added at the beginning, and "founts" is lengthened to "fountains." These extra syllables add "filler," so that when the poem is read stress no longer naturally falls on the syllable "fount" (or, does so to a lesser degree).

		Anapaest: A metrical foot consisting of three syllables.
		Stressed and unstressed syllables form one or other of the recognised metrical forms: an iamb is 'di dúm'; a trochee is 'dúm di', a spondee is 'dúm dúm' (as in 'home-made'), an anapaest is 'di di dúm', and a dactyl is 'dúm di di'.
		In metrical writing these natural variations in stress are formed into recurrent patterns, such as iambs, anapaests or trochees.

	THE RATIONAL USE OF VERSE: CRITICISM by E. A. Poe (1850) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		First, it would be used only in the iambic, anapaestic, and spondaic rhythms (granting that the latter had not been thrown aside long since, on account of its tameness), because in these rhythms the concluding syllable being long, could best sustain the necessary protraction of the voice.
		Were any one weak enough to refer to the Prosodies for the solution of the difficulty here, he would find it solved as usual by a rule, stating the fact (or what it, the rule, supposes to be the fact), but without the slightest attempt at the rationale.
		The principle of equality, in verse, admits, it is true, of variation at certain points, for the relief of monotone, as I have already shown, but the point of time is that point which, being the rudimental one, must never be tampered with at all.

	E. A. Poe Society of Baltimore
		There is an appreciation, first, of the equality between the several dactyls or anapaests, and secondly, of that between the long syllable and the two short conjointly.
		A somewhat less objectionable error, although still a decided one, is that of commencing a rhythm not with a different equivalent foot, but with a "bastard" foot of the rhythm intended.
		Here "crime" and "tell" (italicised) are caesuras, each having the value of a dactyl, four short syllables, while "fume Wax," "twine And," and "done Oh," are spondees which, of course, being composed of two long syllables are also equal to four short, and are the dactyl's natural equivalent.
