Dutch text In drucke moet ik sterven,
:Derven doet mij de doot.
:Venus wilt my bederven
:Met haren strale groot.
:Noit schicht so snel en schoot
:Dan myn liefs mondeken root.
:Mach ick gheen troest verwerven,
:Sterven moet ick die doot. English translation In sorrow I must die,
:Losing everything trough Death.
:Venus is trying to destroy me
:With her long arrow.
:Never before a dart was shot so swiftly
:Than by my darling’s rosy lips.
:If I don’t gain comfort
:Then I just have to die.
