I saw at Winschouten well engrated a Picture pretending to be English (for
English pictures are much valued in Holland) – of a stout, smiling, handsome
Girl – with this inscription:

Like a worm it bud feed in her damask shelck
Its companion has this motto
Flowers and fairheaven
The first one may trace to Shakespeare – the latter I could not at all
divine – for its sky was very cloudy,

Who what are ye! – whence this unpitying ?
Have you been crowned to scathe your falling men –
Were ye not fashioned from the self same clay –
And born to mingle with their dust again?
If tired of life, – & seek of misery
They might have found repose without your crowns
