In Latin, the force and elegance of this usage are equally impressive, if not more so. At this moment, I remember two cases of this in Horace: "Raro antecedentem scelestum Deseruit pede poena claudo;" 2. "saepe Diespiter Neglectus incesto addidit integrum."
Maltravers retraced his steps, entered his house, and was just in time to find himself almost in the arms of De Montaigne. "Quid tam dextro pede concipis ut te, Conatus non poeniteat, votique peracti?"* JUV. * What, under such happy auspices do you conceive that you may not repent of your endeavour and accomplished wish?
