In literary writing, seldom is sometimes put at the beginning of a sentence, followed by an auxiliary verb and the subject. Seldom did he ask me questions about our finances. Seldom can there have been such a happy couple. It hardly ever rains there.

Rarely and seldom can also go at the end of a sentence (often with “very”): We see them rarely. John eats meat very seldom.
- He had seldom seen a child with so much talent.

One may also ask, is there a word called seldomly?
Because it is not a word, “seldomly” has no place in writing (which is made up almost entirely of words, after all). Garner featured “seldom” in a Usage Tip of the Day. “Because this word is an adverb as well as an adjective, the nonword *”seldomly” is never (not merely seldom) needed.”
