Types of Rhythm
English poetry makes use of five important rhythms. These rhythms are of different patterns of stressed (/) and unstressed (x) syllables. Each unit of these types is called Foot. Here are the five types of rhythm:
1. Iamb (x /)
This is the most commonly used rhythm. It consists of two syllables, the first of which is not stressed, while the second syllable is stressed. Such as:
“Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?”(Sonnet 18, by William Shakespeare)
2. Trochee (/ x)
A trochee is a type of poetic foot commonly used in English poetry. It has two syllables, the first of which is strongly stressed, while the second syllable is unstressed, as given below:
“Tell me not, in mournful numbers”(Psalm of Life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
3. Spondee (/ /)
Spondee is a poetic foot that has two syllables, which are consecutively stressed. For example:
“White founts falling in the Courts of the sun”(Lepanto, by G. K. Chesterton)
4. Dactyl (/ x x)
Dactyl is made up of three syllables. The first syllable is stressed, and the remaining two syllables are not stressed, such as in the word “marvelous.” For example:
“This is the forest primeval. The murmuring pines and the hemlocks,”(Evangeline, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
The words “primeval” and “murmuring” show dactyls in this line.
5. Anapest (x x /)
Anapests are total opposites of dactyls. They have three syllables; where the first two syllables are not stressed, and the last syllable is stressed. For example:
” ‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house,”(‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, by Clement Clarke Moore)

Useful Rythm Bot Commands
Rythm bot has a bunch of fun and useful commands. Here are some commands that you should know if you want to use the Rythm bot in your Discord server:
How Do I Play a Song with Rythm?
There are 5 commands you can use to essentially play a song on Rythm. But before you play a song you have to be in a voice channel. Here are the commands you can use to play a song, and what exactly they do:
!Play: If you type “!play song’s name“, Rythm will play the top result for that song from YouTube. You can also type a specific URL to a song like “!play song’s URL“. This URL can be from any of the websites Rythm supports i.e. YouTube, SoundCloud, Vimeo, Mixer, and Twitch. (Alias: !p)
!Search: If you type “!search song’s name“, Rythm will show you the top 10 results for that song from YouTube. (Alias: !find)
!Playtop: If you type the name of a song or the URL to a song after this command like “!playtop song’s name/URL”, Rythm will add the song to the top of the queue and the song will play after the currently playing song. (Aliases: !pt, !ptop)
!Playskip: If you type the name of a song or the URL to a song after this command like “!playskip song’s name/URL“, Rythm will skip the currently playing song and start playing the song you just added. (Aliases: !ps, !pskip, !playnow, !pn)
!SoundCloud: If you type “!Soundcloud song’s name“, Rythm will play the top result for that song from SoundCloud. (Alias: !sc)
How Do I Get The Lyrics of a Song with Rythm?
As I mentioned earlier, Rythm has a command that fetches the lyrics for either the currently playing song, or any song in general. If you use the “!Lyrics” command, when a song is playing, Rythm will fetch the lyrics for the currently playing song.
If you type “!Lyrics song’s name“, Rythm will fetch the lyrics for the specific song you mentioned. It’s quite intuitive in my opinion.
How Do I Skip a Song with Rythm?
If there are less than 3 people in a voice channel, you can simply use the “!skip“command to skip to the next song.
If there are 3 or more people in a voice channel the vote to skip will take effect. According to Rythm’s website, 75% of the voice channel’s population has to vote to skip for the song to skip. This means if there are 6 people in the voice channel, 75% of 6 is 4.5, rounding that down, we get 4. So, in this case, if 4/6 people vote to skip, then the Rythm bot will skip the song.
You can also use the “!skipto” command and type “!skipto position in queue“, to skip to a specific position in the queue.
Types of Meter
The definition of rhythm necessitates the presence of beats, or metrical units. There are five key metrical units in the English language, as described below:
- Iamb—An iamb is comprised of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. There is a popular rhythm called iambic pentameter that Shakespeare often used, which is a line that consists of five iambs, otherwise known as ten syllables in a alternating pattern of unstressed and stressed beats. Examples of iambs: beGIN, aGAIN, aLIVE
- Trochee—The opposite of an iamb, a trochee is one stressed syllable followed by one unstressed syllable. Examples of trochees: ALtar, BRIDESmaid, MARRiage
- Spondee—A spondee is a pattern of two subsequent stressed syllables. Examples of spondees in English are usually compound words or two one-syllables words: HOW NOW, RAINSTORM, SUNSHINE
- Dactyl—A dactyl is comprised of one stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables. A poem written with many dactyls has a very musical quality to it, such as in a limerick (There ONCE was a MAN from NanTUCKet). Examples of dactyls: ANimal, TERRible, DIFFerent
- Anapest—An anapest is the opposite of a dactyl in that it has two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable. Examples of anapests: souvenIR, a la CARTE, debonAIR. (Note that all of these examples have a clear French influence, in which anapests are much more common than in Germanic languages).
Команды управления ботом

Examples of Rhythm in Literature
Example #1
(Beowulf translated by Seamus Heaney)
Seamus Heaney paid much attention to the rhythm of the original Old English when creating his translation of Beowulf. This rhythm example comes from the very opening of the poem, and already it establishes a very sing-song like pattern. All three lines open with an anapest (“So the SPEAR,” “And the KINGS,” and “We have HEARD”). The lines generally have two unstressed syllables between stressed syllables, creating a waltz-like rhythm.
Example #2
(“Sonnet 18” by William Shakespeare)
William Shakespeare wrote many sonnets, and generally used iambic pentameter in his lines. Arguably his most famous sonnet, “Sonnet 18,” indeed follows this rhythm. As explained above, iambic pentameter has ten syllables per line, starting with an unstressed syllable and alternating every other syllable with stress. This means that the lines end on a stressed syllable. This rhythm thus also makes the rhyme scheme more obvious, as Shakespeare’s sonnets followed an ABAB CDCD EFEF GG rhyme pattern. For example, in this excerpt Shakespeare rhymes “day” with “May” and “temperate” with “date,” and in the couplet he rhymes “see” and “thee.” The rhythm helps exaggerate the rhyme.
Example #3
(“Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost)
This is an example of iambic tetrameter, which means that there are four iambs per line. The rhythm in this poem can be equated to the sound of the man travelling by horse through the woods. Indeed, Frost is even more faithful to his chosen rhythm than the previous Shakespeare example; the rigidity of Frost’s rhythm is reminiscent of footsteps and creates a somewhat soporific effect on the reader.
Example #4
(“Annabel Lee” by Edgar Allen Poe)
The rhythm in Edgar Allen Poe’s poem “Annabel Lee” has a singing quality to it, like in Seamus Heaney’s translation of Beowulf. Poe creates this by alternating between anapests and iambs. Every line starts with an anapest (“In a KING…,” “By the NAME,” and “Than to LOVE,” for example) and continues with either another anapest or an iamb. Rather than the up-down rhythm of iambic pentameter, the rhythm in this poem creates a more melodic quality.
Example #5
(“Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden)
This is an interesting example of rhythm in that the rhythm varies greatly from line to line. The first line is a very straightforward example of trochaic pentameter. After that line, however, there are many shifts in rhythm. The shifts are even more interesting because the first line seems to set up a very standard rhythm. Yet then we see iambs and an example of a spondee, in “cracked hands,” and even sets of three stressed syllables in a row, such as “blueblack cold” and “banked fires blaze” (this more uncommon type of meter is called molossus). The end of this excerpt then returns to a trochaic meter with “No one ever thanked him.” The trochaic lines seem plodding in their straightforward meter and indeed refer to the father’s relentless work, whereas the spondee and molossus examples correspond to the intensity of his work and indeed the most vivid imagery. Hayden uses rhythm brilliantly to suggest the different aspects of the father’s work.

Examples of Rhythm in Literature
Example #1: Romeo Juliet (By William Shakespeare)
There are ten syllables in iamb pentameter, where the second syllable is accented or stressed. In the above lines the stressed syllables are expressed in bold.
Example #2: Paradise Lost (By John Milton)
Milton has used spondee in this entire epic poem. The spondaic meter is explicitly visible in the words “wide was.” However, the remaining line is iambic pentameter.
Example #3: Macbeth (By William Shakespeare)
These two lines are taken from Shakespeare’s Macbeth. The chorus of the witches’ spell shows a perfect example of trochees. Stressed pattern is shown in capitals.
Example #4: Song (By Sir John Suckling)
Sir John has written this poem in trochaic meter. Here, the stressed or accented syllables of trochaic pattern are shown in bold-face type. This poem gives a strong rhythmical effect.
Example #5: Tyger (By William Blake)
Trochees are perfectly used in this poem by William Blake. Here, the first syllables of the words “tyger,” “burning,” and “forests” are stressed; however the second syllables are unstressed.
Example #6: The Charge of the Light Brigade (By Alfred Lord Tennyson)
This single line is an example of dactylic pattern, as one stressed syllable is followed by two unstressed syllables, the stressed syllables noted in bold above.
Example #7: Will There Really Be a Morning? (By Emily Dickinson)
In this poem, the speaker is feeling dejected, wondering if there could be hope and morning again. The poet has used trochees, giving a strong rhythm to the poem. Notice in this first stanza, the accented syllables are emphasized. See that word “I” is unaccented or unstressed with different feet as underlined.
Example #8: My Papa’s Waltz (By Theodore Roethke)
The rhyme scheme of this poem is ABAB, which means the first and the third lines rhyme, as do the second and the fourth lines. Roethke has used three iambs, or three beats per line, giving the poem regular rhythmic flow.
Example #9: By the North Sea (By A. C. Swinburne)
This poet has used anapests (two unstressed syllables followed by one stressed syllable) in this example. It adds to the rhythm, yet it carries a subdued effect.
Example #10: The Courage That My Mother Had (By Edna St. Vincent Millay)
These lines follow a pattern of four iambs in each line. This rhythm is catchy because the poet first sets the rhythm, and then breaks it in the last few syllables. It makes the reading smooth and melodious.

Что это — описание
Rhythm Discord — это бот, обеспечивающий передачу музыки. Бот представляет собой автоматический помощник, работающий по заданным командам. Вы можете получить доступ к потоковому воспроизведению композиций из разных источников — в их числе е YouTube, SoundCloud, Twitch. Это огромная библиотека треков!
Следует выделить несколько особенностей:
- Поиск текста играющего трека;
- Функция автоматического воспроизведения, составление плейлистов и очередности;
- Возможность смены серверного префикса.
О командах Rhythm в Discord мы поговорим позже — пока нам нужно добавить бота на сервер. Иначе начать использование не получится!
Главные функции и возможности
Бот Rythm имеет немало полезных функций, связанных с музыкой. Разобраться среди небольшого количества команд сможет любой — даже самый неопытный — человек, достаточно прочитать об использовании бота. Бот Ритм умеет:
- Играть песни, указанные пользователем. Работа заключается в наборе человеком команды, интересующего названия (уточнить запрос, набрать исключительно название), бот найдёт песню за пользователя;
- Искать песни. Пользователю достаточно набрать одно название — бот подберёт наиболее подходящие варианты, укажет длительность трека, достаточно выбрать — какой хочется прослушать;
- Искать песни по ссылкам. Пользователь может скопировать ссылку на YouTube ролик, вставить её, бот проиграет песню, если ссылка указана корректно;
- Составлять плейлисты, списки ожидания;
- Показывать список ожидания следующих песен, составленных плейлистов;
- Показывать текст проигрываемой в голосовом чате песни.
Бот работает с треками, ссылками, не только с YouTube. Поэтому, если указанной песни нет на видео платформе (редкий случай), бот найдёт трек на другой платформе, при желании, указании команды на действие, пользователем.
Доступно большее количество функций, если задонатить (поддержать разработчика) на Патреоне. Тарифных планов — 3: на 5, 10, 15 долларов в месяц. Донаты дают пользователю новые функции:
- Автоматическое проигрывание треков;
- Увеличение длительности проигрываемых песен (более 3 часов);
- Возможность использования закрытого бета-теста бота, пробовать новые функции в числе первых пользователей (доступно при донате в 15 долларов);
- Получения донатерской роли на сервере бота;
- Увеличение, уменьшение звука (отличается от стандартных функций Дискорда).
Если пользователям недостаточно бесплатного функционала, платный точно удовлетворит потребности каждого. Бот предоставляет лучшие функции любому пользователю, готовому оказать поддержку не только в финансовом плане, но и в простой установке, так как функций достаточно много даже тем, кто не донатил боту.

What is The Rythm Bot?
The Rythm bot is a Music streaming Bot for Discord, made to play music directly onto your server. The Rythm bot provides a lag-free music listening experience, and it supports many different music streaming services, such as YouTube, SoundCloud, Twitch, and more. According to their website, the Rythm bot is currently active in around 8 million Discord servers!
From what I could find, this bot was made by ImBursting#0051. As to, “why he made the bot?” well, according to him, “I started Rythm bot a while ago, the reason being that I myself wanted to use a music bot, and the solutions that were present at the time didn’t work too well, so I started my own. I tried a few, which have obviously advanced since, but I believe Rythm was paving the path to what music bots are today.”
Significance of Rhythm in Literature
Rhythm is so important to human nature that it has been theorized that there is a link between rhythm and the human heartbeat, rhythm and evolution, and rhythm and emotion. While none of these theories is certain, rhythm is certainly found in all human cultures around the world and there is clear evidence of rhythm in early human existence. The majority of both music and oral poetry maintain a beat. For early oral literature, the presence of rhythm was a necessary aspect for the memorization of the lines and passing these poems on. Rhythm, therefore, was very significant in early literature. Much poetry now is written without strict rhythm, yet many lines can be analyzed due to their rhythms regardless of whether the poet used that rhythm throughout the entire poem.
