In Yrlandt nu ter tijt,

Verstroyt ghy door den strijt. Al van Edam? verheven
Den Vromen Capiteyn,

En hun Bootsvolck ghemeyn,
Die Coeghels Lustich vloghen
Door crachtelijck firtuyt,
De Roovers zijn bedroghen,
Den brandt quam in haer Cruyt. D'overloop en Compaigne
Tsaem vloghen inde locht,
Gheen meerdere Calaigne
Een Mensche hooren mocht,
Die hun wilden salveeren
Met zwemmen nae het Landt
Dees moesten sterven leeren,
Men sloeghse doot met schant. Die stoutharte Matroosen
In sulcken kloeckicheyt,

Alst tot het strijden leyt.

En doen die Roovers ruymen
Jae nae hun kerckhof gaen. Capiteyn Cleuter koene

Maer namen hem noch mee,
Hoe wreet sy schenen even,

Maer gaven hun ghevaen. Den tweeden dach in Meye

Ghevanghen moesten mee. Nae haer ghepleeghde wercken,
Den loon staet voor de deur,

Haest krijghen haeren keur,
Om nae hun Graf te klimmen
Met eene Ladder hoogh
T'moet doch met haer verslimmen
Dan worden sy haest droogh. Loff kloecke Bootsghesellen
Manhaftich wilt u spoen,

Van uwe Feyten koen,

Als ghy deed't t'elcken keer,
Wilt gheen Zee Roovers vreesen
Maer vangter tienmael meer. | Hail brave Sailors
Who always of set purpose
Are ready to defend
Against the Robber race
Such as we could see
In Ireland these days
Who fled before You
And were scattered. Setting sail from Edam
The Captain Moy Lambert
was very religious
As were the common sailors
Cannonballs shot through
the sky by virtuous labour
The Robbers had bad luck,
The powderroom caught flames. Deck and Landing
Blew up together,
No greater disaster
Was heard by Man
Who would salute them
as they swam towards Land
These met with their death
Shamefully they were slain Those hardy sailors
With many a brave act
Entertained eachother well
If it leads to fighting.
On the sea they roam
As is done these days
And clear it of Rovers
And put them in the Cemetery. Captain Cleuter brave
And Pellecoren virtuous,
Have in this season
Tried to clear the Waters
'round Norway
Monitoring with vessels
The sailors being ready at all times
Averted themselves well A wicked Sea Robber
Near Berghen at Ree
Was turned back without mercy
And captured him as well
Very cruel they seemed
In this wicked Trade
In the end forced to surrender
they were captured. The second day of May
They arrived in Amsterdam
The robbers were led
God knows how they felt,
Who like Tigers and Bears
Robbed the people at sea,
Now chained dishonourably
As prisoners they came. As they have sowed
So they will now reap
These godless preachers
Soon get their reward,
To climb towards their graves
On a ladder high
It will make it worse
'Till they are wrung dry. Praise to these brave sailors
With courage make haste,
So we cane relate more often
Of your brave exploits
Take heart after this
If you should do it often,
Do not fear any Sea Robbers
But catch 10 times more. |
