Adding unnecessary, weak words like 'verily,' 'indeed,' 'forsooth,' or common, unstressed filler words to complete a meter; The use of archaic or less necessary auxiliary verbs to fill out a line, such as 'Doth my good friend hath come to call' instead of 'My friend has come to call'; Inserting a preposition or article that adds little meaning but makes the line metrically correct, e.g., 'And it was I who saw the golden tree'; Excessive use of interjections or mild exclamations at the start of a line purely to maintain the meter: 'Alas! I saw the moon rise slow and white.'
