In translating a classic Chinese poem, I came across a sentence as follows: "how much sorrow one could have if ever asked" But the rhyme requires that "sorrow" at the end of the sentence, my question is: What's the best way to rearrange it? |

"how much sorrow one could have if ever asked" "If ever asked, how much one could have sorrow" or "If ever asked, how one could have much sorrow" or however you really want to arrange the words.  |

"If ever asked, how much one could have sorrow" is what I chose. THX! |
