Erat autem in villa non longe posita quidam adolescens mutus, episcopo notus, nam saepius ante illum percipiendae eleemosynae gratia venire consueverat, qui ne unum quidem sermonem unquam profari poterat; sed et scabiem tantam ac furfures habebat in capite, ut nil unquam capillorum ei in superiore parte capitis nasci valeret, tantum in circuitu horridi crines stare videbantur.
Now there was in a township not far off a certain young man that was dumb, well known of the bishop (for he used to come before him oftentimes to receive his alms), the which was never able to speak so much as one word; besides, too, he had so much scab and scurf in his head, that in the crown of the head there could not a hair take root, only rough hairs were seen to be standing around it.
