Examples
“ecce anus in mediīs residēns annōsa puellīs Behold an old woman, full of years, sitting among girls. (A year is an annus; an elderly woman an anus; and here Ovid's rhythmic word-play doubly describes her as being elderly indeed: anus annōsa – an old woman ‘‘long-lived’’ or ‘‘full of years.’’ The position of the word annōsa next to puellīs – that is to say, girls who are ‘‘few of years’’ – emphasizes their contrasting ages and appearance.)”
