Well, I do defer to the expert. :) The part we read began immediately following that line: Fall'n Cherub, to be weak is miserable... and so on. I do see how the first few lines could be read in pentameter.. I wasn't arguing the iambic part.. just my own uncertainty regarding the number of syllables. I was getting hung up on Fall'n, miserable, and suffering from the next line. :) That's what I meant by my not reading it properly. :)
At any rate.. not disagreeing with you. I didn't really examine it very carefully for meter to begin with.. we weren't going to get any points for identifying that, and the Fall'n Cherub line was a dead giveaway for me in identifying the work itself. :)
