Question

which rhyming couplet from phillis wheatleys \on imagination\ contains an inverted sentence?

ow here, now there, the roving fancy flies,
till some lovd object strikes her wandring eyes,\
\to tell her glories with a faithful tongue,
ye blooming graces, triumph in my song.\
\whose silken fetters all the senses bind,
and soft captivity involves the mind.\
\imagination! who can sing thy force?
or who describe the swiftness of thy course?\

Explanation:

An inverted sentence is one where the normal subject - verb - object order is changed. In the couplet "To tell her glories with a faithful tongue, Ye blooming graces, triumph in my song", the normal order would be "Ye blooming graces, triumph in my song (to) tell her glories with a faithful tongue". The phrase "To tell her glories with a faithful tongue" is placed at the beginning, changing the typical sentence structure.

Answer:

"To tell her glories with a faithful tongue, Ye blooming graces, triumph in my song."
