Interesting discussion. The concensus seems to be that the "ear" doesn't hear syllabic regularity except in short line-lengths. I disagree.

I've written poems that seem to organize themselves into long syllbic lines. I don't really know what happens, but there is a quality about the regular line-lengths that comes through to me, not as strongly as accentual meter, but recognizable from stanza to stanza all the same.

What sort of reaction would one of these get on the metrical board? Let's see.
