Juventinus Albius Ovidius
Juventinus Albius Ovidius was the name of the author of thirty-five distichs titled Elegia de Philomela, containing a collection of those words which are supposed to express appropriately the sounds uttered by birds, quadrupeds, and other animals. For example: Mus avidus mintrit, velox mustecula drindit, Et grillus grillat, desticat inde sorex. The age in which the author lived is quite unknown, but from the last couplet in the piece it would appear that he was a Christian.
