... factas ex aequore terras; et procul a pelago conchae...


'et procul (..) marinae': common, everyday Latin; except perhaps for the use of the word 'pelagus', which might be poetical. However it shows, that the hexameter did not stand far from the normal speaking Latin and it also shows, that Ovid wrote these vss just like that, easily.
