Examples

“audit in exēsa strīdōrem exāminis ulmō, aspicit et cērās dissimulatque senex [Silenus] hears the buzzing of a swarm in a hollowed-out elm tree, and the old man can see the honeycombs, yet he dissimulates [pretends as if he has found nothing]. (Ovid's word play relates the ‘‘exesus’’ – the tree's ‘‘having been consumed’’ – with the ‘‘examen’’ or swarm, which Silenus mistakenly assumes are bees; instead, moments later when he looks inside the tree he is attacked by hornets.)”
