    • 70 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Eclogues 1:
      Nōn equidem invideō; mīror magis: undique tōtīs
      ūsque adeō turbātur agrīs. Ēn, ipse capellās
      prōtinus aeger agō; hanc etiam vix, Tītyre, dūcō:
      hīc inter dēnsās corylōs modo namque gemellōs,
      spem gregis, ah, silice in nūdā cōnixa relīquit.
      I certainly don't envy you; I am amazed more: everywhere in all
      the fields there's such disturbance. Look, the goats by myself
      I drive forward sick as I am; this one too I am barely leading, Tityrus:
      for here among dense hazels, just now, twin kids,
      the hope of the flock, ah! it abandoned exhausted on bare rock.
  3. continuously, constantly, uninterruptedly
    Synonyms: continenter, iūgiter
