"Tromp goes forth today: he trumpets with all his strength, And call to the sea and plunge into your thoughts, A lust to do good, a zeal for the Land, His heart is dear and all his soul is burning, Thou, heed his business and heed his commandments; He will teach you to play with ice, according to art, And bounce with the steel; yes led to the dance, Not a woman and serve, but not as a swift man."
