Answer 2

Correct prose order

'And in short measures life may perfect be.'- And life may be perfect in short measures.

Explanation:

• Poetry is very much different from prose.
• Poetry does not follow the same word order or syntax  as prose.
• Poetry also follows  a certain rhyming scheme or internal rhyming.
• Poetry also uses a different word arrangement to create an emphasis.
• A figure of speech often used for an inverted word arrangement is the 'hyperbaton'.
• A hyperbaton is a literary device that inverts the word order in a manner to create an emphasis.
• In Ben Jonson's poem 'The Noble Nature' there is an avid use of the hyperbaton.
• The last line 'And in short measures life may perfect be.' is a perfect example of the hyperbaton.
• The correct prose order of the last line is : 'And in short measures life may perfect be.'
