Lucifaus

Ambitious soul of Marlowe,
And the jealous spirit of Milton,
sought after the sensuous.
One was tempted by human thoughts;
And the other tempted the Edenites.
Like the man with waxen wings;
surfeited the falls from heaven.
Tales of jealousy spotted;
by the blind prophet in twelve books.
Story of damned soul amplified;
by the Canterburyan in five acts.
Faustus, thy name sounded high in universities,
but reduced with necromancy.
The archangel once the light bearer,
transgressed diabolically,
and reigned the hell with fallen rebels.
And the two met outside
the creator's locus with grief.
" O traitor,  you deceived  me
with your minstrel's magic,
and stolen the heavenly bliss
thus, I lost my soul."
The sobbing Faustus appealed Prince of East
And the old morning star retaliates:
"I defied God and his rules,
thus he throw and deformed me,
And now I am envious to all."
"Your envy, destroyed my soul
Your gifts prompted me
Thus my last yearnings were not heard."
"O Faustus, you undergone hellish fall.
I suffer hellish infections forever.
Adam was infected by Eve's dagger,
but the world still indicts me.
The puritan too was in hesitancy.
I cannot be the villain,
as my flaw was ambition.
The embellished throne attracted me,
And I defied the almighty."
"Marlowe and Milton portrayed us;
to teach the throng of vicious acts,
Punishment acts as a lesson."
"But it is ironic, Faustus
I can spell my temptation still,
Minstrels are singing the notes of our sigh,
But the subjects are behind the pleasure.
Thus I can capture many a Faustus,
I will get bloody deeds a more."
Damned soul and the Arch-enemy
together peals for all wretched beings.
