| VRAAG | QUESTION - (from Dutch) |
| Pieter Langendijk | tr. Cliff Crego |
|
Zijn naastens goed begeren, Te woekeren, te scheren, Te zorgen voor zijn pens, Nooit voor zijn evenmens. Op 't huisgezin te grauwen En armen toe te snauwen, Maar driemaal daags te kerk; Is dat geen christelijk werk? |
To be well-desirous of his neighbors, To profiteer, to shave, To care for his paunch, And never for his fellow-man. To snarl at one's family And gibe at the poor, But go three times a day to church; Is that not good Christian work? |
