Twenty per cent of a typical Shakespeare line (4)

I believe the answer is:

iamb

(Other definitions for iamb that I've seen before include "Short-long metrical foot" , "Part of a pentameter?" , "Metrical unit" , "Line of verse" , "Poet's foot" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
