Wij loven 't Groot Bestier, en zeggen met malcander,
Augustus heerschappij, noch winnend' Alexander,
Noch Caesars groot beleijd zijn noijt daermee geswaerd,
Met 't leggen van een steen op 't eijnde van de Aerd!
The First Stone of the New Castle Good Hope has Wagenaar laid with Hope of Good Hope.
Thus more and more the kingdoms are extended;
Thus more and more are black and yellow spread;
Thus from the ground a wall of stone is raised,
On which the thundering brass can no impression make.
For Hottentoos the walls were always earthen,
