“ANGLING IS A GOOD THING INDEED.”
Leentje de Haas, on Admiral de Ruyter.
“He climbed to the top of a tower,
And twisted ropes on the same;
Then he went to sea in a vessel,
And was crowned with eternal fame.
“He did great deeds and glorious,
And overthrew Sallee;
The States named him victorious,
Our hero of the sea.
