There was a man born vs. there was born a man

1) William Shakespeare, the great English writer, was born there.
2) The great English writer William Shakespeare was born there.
3) There was born the great English writer William Shakespeare.
4) There was the great English writer William Shakespeare born.

Do the last two sound equally natural in adequate contexts?

Am I correct in thinking the last two sound more high-flown, more, say, epic than the first neutral ones?

If (3,4) are possible, is it correct to regard (3) as a case of a 'whole-predicate' inversion in contrast to an 'auxiliary-verb' inversion in (4)?

As always, thank you very much in advance,
