( OLD WOMAN intensifies . Tom and she understand one another . Mark tries to see the translation but is too frightened to get near enough to actually see .)
OLD WOMAN Tom te aegrotant , et mori . Dii ostensum mihi est , quod morbo diffusa in corpore , et non esse quod non est remedium . ( Tom you are sick and are to die . The gods have shown me that disease has spread throughout your body and that there is no cure .)
