First Translation
No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The work is an ephemeral occasional piece of Dutch religious poetry from 1716, specifically mourning the death of a Mennonite figure (Joannes Houbakker). Extensive searches across major library catalogs, including the Library of Congress and scholarly databases, yielded no evidence of any English translation. Given the nature of the text—a highly specific, localized, and ephemeral funeral lament—it is extremely unlikely that a translation was ever produced.
