cum ingenti pestilentia urbs agrique vastarentur, Valesius, vir locuples rusticae vitae, duobus filiis et filia ad desperationem usque medicorum laborantibus, aquam iis calidam a foco petens, genibus nixus lares familiares ut puerorum periculum in ipsius caput transferrent oravit.
When Rome and its countryside were being devastated by a tremendous pestilence, a rich man called Valesius, rustic in his style of life, had two sons and a daughter sick to the despair of the doctors. As he was getting hot water for them from the hearth, he fell on his knees and prayed to the household gods that they transfer the childrens peril onto his own head.
