The effect of 'comma'

Hi,

with "comma":

[When I did well, I heard it never; when I did ill, I heard it ever.]

Here, [never / ever] used as a judgment about the possibility or frequency of I heard it.

without "comma";

[When I did well I never heard it; when I did ill I ever heard it.]

Here, [never /ever] used as a directer to direct the direction of I heard it to one with the opposite meaning or agreement.

Because without 'comma'----the time that I did well / ill act plays the key of I heard it.

This is my naive idea.

Could any native speaker tell me correct or not?

Another we can find many of instences:

An hourin the morning is worth twoin the evening.

After a storm comes a calm.

While there is life there is hope.

Never putoff till tomorrow what may be done today.= Never put off till tomorrow the thing which may be done today.

Strike whilethe iron is hot.

Havenot thy cloak to make whenit begins to rain.

It is too late to spare when the bottom is bare.

Thank you for your assistance.
