See explanation.
"Never was seen so black a day as this:"
"And all the better is it for the maid."
"Towards him I made, but he was 'ware of me"
Explanation:
An inverse sentence is one that is basically switched around so that the verb comes before the noun, the predicate comes before the subject. So rather than "She hardly ever visits," an inverse sentence would be "Hardly ever does she visit."
For Shakespeare in particular, there are many examples.
Act 4, Scene 5: “Never was seen so black a day as this:"
and "And all the better is it for the maid."
Act 1, Scene 1: "Towards him I made, but he was 'ware of me"
And many more examples. Check out the script and you'll find a lot more. :)
