Explanation:

A trochaic octameter is a metrical form where the syllables follow the pattern of a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable, with the pattern occurring eight times in a line. An example of this metrical form is "Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary" from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven".

An iambic pentameter is a metrical form where an iamb/ foot has an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, with a repetition of five times in a line. An example of such form is the line "Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?" from "Sonnet 18" by William Shakespeare.

Iambic heptameter is the same as that of an iambic pentameter, except that the repetition happens seven times in a line instead of five. An example is Lord Byron's "O could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been" from "Youth and Age".

The dactylic tetrameter form is where a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable, with the pattern repetition of four times in each line. An example is a line "Just for a handful of silver he left us" from Robert Browning's poem "The Lost Leader".
