How are anapests structured in English poetry?

In English poetry, an anapest is a trisyllabic metrical foot structured as two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable (˘ ˘ ´). An example of this pattern can be found in the word "serenade" (ser-e-nade).12

As a form of syllable-stress metre, the anapest serves as a building block for lines of verse, with the number of feet per line determining the specific metre (e.g., trimeter or tetrameter). While pure anapestic metre was historically reserved for light or popular verse due to its galloping, "jog-trot" rhythm, it became increasingly common in serious English poetry after the 18th century. Poets such as Lord Byron have utilized the anapest to effectively convey a sense of movement and excitement.123
