Excerpt from Le Décaméron, Vol. 1
Il y en eut qui, persuadés que la fuite était le meilleur de tous les préservatifs, abandonnèrent leurs maisons,. Leurs biens, leurs parents, pour se retirer dans les villages des environs de Florence, comme si Dieu, irrité de nos iniqui tés, avait résolu la ruine totale de cette ville, et que sa co lère ne dût tomber que sur ceux qui se trouveraient enfer mês dans son enceinte. Ils se trompèrent. Plusieurs se virent poursuivis par la contagion; et, comme ils avaient; les premiers, donné l'exemple de la fuite, ils furent, à leur tour, abandonnés de leurs propres camarades, et périrent misérablement.
