1230Illud in his rebus miserandum magnopere unum
1231aerumnabile erat, quod ubi se quisque videbat
1232implicitum morbo, morti damnatus ut esset,
1233deficiens animo maesto cum corde iacebat,
1234funera respectans animam amittebat ibidem.
1235quippe etenim nullo cessabant tempore apisci
1236ex aliis alios avidi contagia morbi,
1237lanigeras tam quam pecudes et bucera saecla,
1238idque vel in primis cumulabat funere funus
1239nam qui cumque suos fugitabant visere ad aegros,
1240vitai nimium cupidos mortisque timentis
1241poenibat paulo post turpi morte malaque,
1242desertos, opis expertis, incuria mactans.
1243qui fuerant autem praesto, contagibus ibant
1244atque labore, pudor quem tum cogebat obire
1245blandaque lassorum vox mixta voce querellae.
