Tusc. 4, 20, 45: stung by r., conscientia ictus, Liv. 33, 28, ad fin.: the metaph. may also be preserved by rĕmordeo, no perf., morsum (to bite back), 2: but if you feel r. for the loss of liberty, sin libertatis desiderium remordet animos, Liv. 8, 4, ad init. (cf. morsus intermissae libertatis, Cic. Off. 2, 7, 24): when per-*chance the guilty soul is stung by its own r., cum conscius ipse animus se forte remordet, Lucr. 4, 1127.
