Final answer:

In Shakespeare's works, inverted syntax is utilized for poetic effect by reversing the normal subject/verb order.


Explanation:

Inverted syntax, a common feature in Shakespeare's works, involves reversing the typical subject/verb order for poetic effect. In the line 'Never was seen so black a day as this,' the normal subject/verb order would be 'So black a day as this never was seen.' This inversion is used to maintain iambic pentameter and create a poetic flow.
