EPIGRAPH: The plague, Like a great fire, if a few houses only are contiguous where it happens, can only burn a few houses;
or if it begins in a single, or as we call it, a lone house,
can only burn that lone house where it begins.
But if it begins in a close-built town or city and gets a head,
there its fury increases: it rages over the whole place,
and consumes all it can reach.
