by Joost van den Vondel (1587 - 1679)

Schoone Leli, laet ons minnen
Language: Dutch (Nederlands) 
Schoone Leli, laet ons minnen,
Nu de zon schijnt van om hoogh.
Wilt ge u al te lang bezinnen,
Gy zult haest aen ’s hemels boogh
Mist en onweêr op zien komen,
En voor donderslagen schroomen:
Want wie traegh zijn lief bemint,
Vangt in ’t endt een hantvol wint.

Min, een rover, stout in ’t kampen,
Zeiltme na met kracht en spoet
In de zee van mijn gemoet:
Als hy my aen boort komt klampen,
Baet geen wederstant noch strijt.
Och, ik raek mijn vryheit quijt.
