What is an example of inversion in Romeo and Juliet?

Inversion is a reversal of the usual word order in a sentence. Here are a few examples from Romeo and Juliet:

- "And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks"

- "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!"

- "But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?"

- "My only love sprung from my only hate!"
