will go and ask him
about your coming here, then hurry back

will go and ask him about your coming here, then hurry back.

Explanation:

In Old English poetry, a line consists of two half-lines. A half-line is created by a pause (caesura) in the middle of each line. There are two accented syllables within each half-line.

This is clearly seen in this line from Beowulf, an Old English epic poem:

"will go and ask him

about your coming here, then hurry back."

In this case, a comma is used to split the line into two half-lines.

which incidentally tells you what a topic sentence should be.
