Is the "then now" correct in showing the results of the previous lines?

In his quest, he finds;

Puts under a

Scope, then now knows why

He's stunted.

Answer 1

The use of the word now is not needed in this sentence.To show the result of the previous line, you only need the word then. So the sentence should read, "Each artifact in his quest he finds, puts under a scope, then knows why he's stunted."
