Who thought that your child was a metrist at first

Jane Shore in 'The Sound of Sense' writes..
.......
I hear my daughter turn the title page,
then silence, then a spurt of words, false start,
hesitation, a spondee of some sort,
then an iamb, then an anapest, then
a pause, another iamb - that's the End
