Answer 2

An Inversion is used in the above sentence.

• An inversion or astrophe is a form of writing where the normal order of words is reversed or reordered to emphasize a point or beautify the sentence.
• The normal order of the given sentence would be 'For oft when I lie on my couch.' This sentence is made complex to sound more interesting or to focus on a point.
• Another example of inversion is- 'Never have I seen such beauty.' This can be normally represented as 'I have never seen such beauty.'
