Determine the rhythm and meter of each set.

"Workers earn it.
Spendthrifts burn it.
Bankers lend it
Women spend it.
Forgers fake it.
Taxes take it.
Dying leave it.
Heirs receive it.
Thrifty save it.
Misers crave it.
Robbers seize it.
Rich increase it.
Gamblers lose it.
I could use it."
I think this has a heptameter but I am having trouble determining the rhythm.
I am totally lost on this one-
"When the dark
Of a spring
Interrupts.
There is one
Wwho will serve."
If I had to guess I would say this is an anapest monometer.

Where is the stressed syllable on the word "workers" or on the word "women". Each of those lines has 4 syllables.

This site gives a chart of all the meters.

When you recheck, please repost and I will be happy to help you further.

For the first set of lines:

"Workers earn it.
Spendthrifts burn it.
Bankers lend it
Women spend it.
Forgers fake it.
Taxes take it.
Dying leave it.
Heirs receive it.
Thrifty save it.
Misers crave it.
Robbers seize it.
Rich increase it.
Gamblers lose it.
I could use it."

The rhythm of each line is primarily iambic. An iambic rhythm consists of two syllables, with the first one unstressed and the second one stressed. However, it is important to note that there are some variations in the rhythm throughout the set.

To determine the meter, we can count the number of metrical feet in each line. A metrical foot consists of one stressed syllable and one or more unstressed syllables. In this set, most of the lines have four metrical feet, making it predominantly tetrameter. However, there are variations, such as the first line having three metrical feet, and a few lines having five metrical feet, which adds some variety to the rhythmic structure. Overall, we can say that the set has a predominantly iambic tetrameter with variations in some lines.

For the second set of lines:

"When the dark
Of a spring
Interrupts.
There is one
Who will serve."

The rhythm of each line is primarily trochaic. A trochaic rhythm consists of two syllables, with the first one stressed and the second one unstressed.

To determine the meter, we can count the number of metrical feet in each line. In this set, each line has two metrical feet, making it predominantly dimeter. Therefore, we can say that the set has a predominantly trochaic dimeter.

To determine the rhythm and meter of each set, we need to analyze the syllabic structure and stress patterns of the lines.

First set:
"Workers earn it.
Spendthrifts burn it.
Bankers lend it
Women spend it.
Forgers fake it.
Taxes take it.
Dying leave it.
Heirs receive it.
Thrifty save it.
Misers crave it.
Robbers seize it.
Rich increase it.
Gamblers lose it.
I could use it."

To analyze the rhythm, we can break down the lines into metrical feet, which are patterns of stressed and unstressed syllables. By doing this, we can identify the predominant foot pattern and the meter of the set.

Looking at the syllabic structure, we can see that each line consists of two feet, making it dimeter. The foot pattern in most of the lines appears to be trochee, which consists of a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable. However, the last line, "I could use it," is predominantly iambic, with an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable.

The meter of this set can be described as trochaic dimeter, with the exception of the last line, which is predominantly iambic dimeter.

Second set:
"When the dark
Of a spring
Interrupts.
There is one
Who will serve."

To analyze the rhythm of this set, we need to determine the syllabic structure and stress patterns in each line.

In the first line, "When the dark," we have three stressed syllables, making it anapestic trimeter. Anapestic meter is characterized by two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable.

In the second line, "Of a spring," we have one stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, making it iambic dimeter.

In the third line, "Interrupts," we have two stressed syllables, making it trochaic dimeter.

In the fourth line, "There is one," we have two unstressed syllables followed by a stressed syllable, making it anapestic dimeter.

In the fifth line, "Who will serve," we have one stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, making it iambic dimeter.

Thus, the meter of this set varies. The first line is anapestic trimeter, the second and fourth lines are anapestic dimeter, the third line is trochaic dimeter, and the fifth line is iambic dimeter.
