Question
which rhyming couplet from phillis wheatleys \on imagination\ contains an inverted sentence?
*now 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?*
An inverted sentence has a non - standard word order where the verb comes before the subject. In "To tell her glories with a faithful tongue, Ye blooming graces, triumph in my song.", the normal word order would be "Ye blooming graces triumph in my song to tell her glories with a faithful tongue." Here, "triumph" (verb) comes before "Ye blooming graces" (subject).
