Poetry of Wilhelmus a'Brakel

[VirginiaHuguenot]

Has anyone read the book of poems by Wilhelmus a'Brakel entitled Een aandactige Leerling van den Heere Jezus (An Attentive Student of the Lord Jesus)? If so, any thoughts? Is there an English translation?

I dunno about that, but I know that I owe him a debt...

It is not in English. My source tells me that it is too difficult to translate this poetry from Dutch to English.

Good to know, thanks! I will just have to learn Dutch then...

Um, I get stirred up by the Wilhelmus and I don't even know Dutch.
