Canon Thomas Saunders Evans (8 March 1816 to ?1889) was an eminent Latin and Greek scholar. He translated much English poetry into Latin verse. I have started a Wikipedia page about him, at this link: any more information that any of you can edit into it is welcome.

He wrote much Latin and Greek verse, some original, some in translation. Much (but not all) is in a book “Latin and Greek verse”, by Thomas Saunders Evans, ed. Joseph Waite, Cambridge University Press, 1893, and online at http://warburg.sas.ac.uk/pdf/nah8775b2328575.pdf, and being reprinted by Bibliolife; that reprint is available on Ebay.
One of its poems is in elegaic couplets “The Autobiography” of a Goose Quill", i.e. of a pen made from a goose feather. Some of it is about the goose that it came from; one couplet is:
a stagni decus! a ranarum gurges et horror!
a desiderium vulpis! opime pater!
