Default Latinate orotundities

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question, please accept my apologies if it's not.

I read that the novelist Evely Waugh used "mock-augustan idioms" and "Latinat orotundites"

Can anyone give me one or two examples from Waugh, and if possible some true Augustan orotundities.
