Vondle
Park Amsterdam
Is it fate that I will fall, robbed of honour and
dignity,
Then let me fall, if I were to fall, with this crown
upon my head
This sceptre in my fist, this company of loyals,
And as many as are loyal to our side.
This fall would honour one, and give unwilting praise:
And rather [would I be] foremost king in any lower
court,
Than rank second in most holy light, or even less
Thus I justify my revolt, and will now fear pain nor
hindrance.
-
Poem by Joost van den Vondel
