Question

Analyze the foot of the following phrase.

by the light of the silvery moon

Answer 1

it's been a while but I'll give it a shot
9 syllables, divided into segments of 3 syllables each. now we determine stressed vs/ un-stressed. as a hint,

by the light --> "light" is stressed, while the other two syllables are unstressed
of the silv- ---> "silv" is stressed, other two syllables are unstressed
ery moon ---> "moon" is stressed, other two syllables are unstressed

so with that being said what's the proper term for this pattern?
