Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

In the excerpt the first syllable is not stressed, and it is followed by a stressed syllable; this is called a iamb. This was common in Greek comedies and tragedies.

This pattern is repeated four times during the verses, so it is a tetrameter.
