Plague of Langolen

In the church are gathered all the married men:
A new evil has arrived, a sickness
Before the great altar they are there praying
Saint John and Saint Sebastian preserve us!
 
In the length of a day or two or three,
A great many people were dead, more and more
And all of them were slain by the sickness
Everyday we must take them to the cemetery.
 
The Reverend Priest was reading a letter:
“The name of this sickness is the plague,”
A letter sent to me from our bishop:
“Poor people, we are being punished1 like Job!”
 
Alas! The plague is come to this country.
God, what have we done against you
That you treat with us in such a harsh manner,
To bring such a violent punishment upon my head?
 
Three weeks have passed since it came.
There is only my son and myself still living:
“Let us leave our house and stay within the cemetery,
That the two of us may die on hallowed ground.”
 
  • 1. Literally, “penanced.”
