How many valiant men, how many fair ladies, breakfast with their kinfolk and the same night supped with their ancestors in the next world! The condition of the people was pitiable to behold. They sickened by the thousands daily, and died
unattended and without help. Many died in the open street, others dying in their houses, made it known by the stench of their
rotting bodies. Consecrated churchyards did not suffice for the burial of the vast multitude of bodies, which were heaped by
the hundreds in vast trenches, like goods in a ships hold and covered with a little earth.
