A little while afterwards he complained of pain in his abdomen,
and, scarcely uttering a word, fell prostrate on the ground
and urinated with great violence to the height of a man.
Presently he was a terrible sight to see,
scarcely uttering a word, he fell prostrate on the ground
seized with convulsions, with the loss of all his sense.
He was a terrible sight to see.
His mouth was shut most tightly
being seized with convulsions, and the loss of all his sense,
so that it could not be opened by any means.
His mouth was shut most tightly;
he grated his teeth; he twisted his eyes about strangely
so that they could not be opened by any means
and blood flowed from his ears.
He grated his teeth; he twisted his eyes about strangely;
he frequently hiccuped;
and blood flowed from his ears.
At times he seemed to be about to vomit;
he frequently hiccuped
but he could force nothing from his mouth.
At times he seemed to be about to vomit.
He tossed his limbs about marvelously and twisted them
but he could force nothing from his mouth.
Frequently his head was drawn backward,
he tossed his limbs about marvelously and twisted them
and his whole back was curved in the form of a bow.
Frequently his head was drawn backward
so that a small child could have crept beneath him,
his whole back curved in the form of a bow,
without touching him,
so that a small child could have crept beneath him.
He could not be aroused by no pinching, by no talking, or by no other means,
without touching him.
Until his strength failed and he grew pale,
he could not be aroused by no pinching, by no talking, or by no other means
and when a hand was placed on his breast he breathed his last.
Strength failed and he grew pale.
From the mouth of the corpse even to the hour of his burial
a hand was placed on his breast,
green froth flowed very abundantly,
from the mouth of the corpse even to the hour of his burial
although it was wiped away frequently by his grieving father,
green froth flowed very abundantly
nevertheless new froth soon took its place
although it was wiped away frequently by his grieving father.
Presently he was a terrible sight to see,
nevertheless new froth soon took its place.
A little while afterwards he complained of pain in his abdomen.
