"Iambic" is a term given to a particular pattern of feet in a poem, in which an author uses "iambs." An iamb is an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable. This is a common type of feet in English literature, and it is often associated with Shakespeare. It gives a particular rhythm and consistency to a text. "Tetrameter," on the other hand, refers to a line of four "feet."
