Tim's right. "day" is a feminine ending, period, but a strongly stressed syllable, like "hour" in "Out, Out", also a f.e. and stressed (though not accented). RF likes to do it and does it well. And ionics are one of the permissible
substitutions, like trochees, and are found all over the place in strict iambics, sometimes one after another, as in these
lines of Yeats, whom Tim mentioned:
Better go down upon your marrow bones
And scrub a kitchen pavement or break stones o o S S
Like an old pauper in all kinds of weather... o o S S o o S S
3 in a row, no?
so long
