In Time of Pestilence, 1593

by Thomas Nashe

In Time of Pestilence, 1593 is a remarkable work of poetry by Thomas Nashe, capturing the horrors of the bubonic plague that ravaged London in the late 16th century. Nashe's evocative language and vivid imagery expose the suffering, fear, and mortality that the plague inflicted upon the city's inhabitants. Through a series of haunting stanzas, the poem explores themes of death, despair, and the fragility of human life.
