Examples

“Sometimes they marked the form of the silk-haired and graceful capella, with its wreathing horn and bright grey eye—which, still beneath Ausonian skies, recalls the eclogues of Maro, browsing half-way up the hills; and the grapes, already purple with the smiles of the deepening summer, glowed out from the arched festoons, which hung pendent from tree to tree.”

“master of the glorious art of proud Ausonian song”

“Or hollowing one hand against his ear, / To list a foot-fall, ere he saw / The wood-nymph, stay'd the Ausonian king to hear / Of wisdom and of law.”
