Answer:

Trochaic

Step-by-step explanation:

The trochaic refers to the foot of Greek or Latin verse composed of two syllables, the first long and the other short, that is, it refers to a long syllable, tonic, and a brief, unstressed. This is exactly what happens in the poem "Robin Hood and the Scotchman." For this reason, we can state that the metric presented in this poem is the trochaic.
