Quote: I think he is referring to attempting to rhyme masculine with feminine.
no i wasn't.

but i dunno if my scansion is "wrong". i'll try to find the term i meant later.

the term is just "substitution". i haven't found a variant of the term when it is used WRT different feet.

in the first instance according to my scansion there is a "substitution" of an iamb for a pyrrrhic, in the other example for an anapest.
