Browning's "Saul" certainly is pentameter and
seems to include enough anapests to make it classifiable as anapestic pentameter.
As is typical of anapestic lines, many begin with iambs, and there is also
substitution of other triple feet, such as amphimacers ( / * /).

He stood as erect as that tent-prop, both arms
stretched out wide

On the great cross-support in the centre, that
goes to each side;
He relaxed not a muscle, but hung there as, caught
in his pangs
And waiting his change, the king-serpent all
heavily hangs,
Far away from his kind, in the pine, till deliverance
come
With the spring-time,--so agonized Saul, drear
and stark, blind and dumb.
