The rhythm is a die in which a poem is cast. Alfred Noyce's poem The Highwayman is a fine illustration. Tiot tiot tiot tiot did she hear it, Tiot tiot tiot tiot in the distance, The horse hoofs ringing clear, - the very lines from the poem. It was the galloping horse hoof beats which supplied the rhythm and the riding poet only had to cast words in this die. Do not still doubt which was born first.
