A Sonnet Inspired by Marlowe's Faustus

[milo]

I think what he meant is that the ip is unjustified. cut all the filler and awkward modifiers and you're left with a more immediate verse in it:

a wasting body slithers on
returns to dust @ abbadon

etc

what he said. And the issue prevails throughout. Hence I say "filler". Sometimes tetrameter is better. Sometimes no meter is better. Filler is almost never better imo. "Like Faust" already means "I too" so the wording is superfluous. Why not just add "also" as well.
