"Pentameter (Ancient Greek: πεντάμετρος, ´measuring five (feet)´) is a poetic meter. А poem is said to be written in a particular pentameter when the lines of the poem have the length of five feet, where a ´foot´ is a combination of a particular number (1 or 2) of unstressed (or weak) syllables and a stressed (or strong) syllable. Depending on the pattern of feet, pentameter can be iambic (one of three two-syllable meters alongside trochaic and spondaic) or dactylic (one of two three-syllable meters alongside anapestic)." - (en.wikipedia.org 08.05.2022)
