Gütigster, Bester! Weisester, Gröster! So lang ich Thränen habe Und an der Kunst mich labe, Sey beydes Dir geweiht, Der Beydes mir verleiht. So Güt' als Weisheit strömen mild, Von Dir, o Gottes Ebenbild, Engel bist du mir auf Erden; Gern möcht' ich Dir Dankbar werden. Unser aller Großpapa Bleibe noch recht lange da!

Aardigste, beste, Wijste man, grootste! Zolang mij tranen resten, En kunst mij laaft als beste, Wijd 'k beide aan u toe, Die beide schenkt, en hoe! Ja, goed- en wijsheid stromen mild Van u, o Gods mooi evenbeeld, 'n Engel bent u mij op aarde, 'k Wil u danken voor uw waarde. O, ons aller grootpapa, Blijf nog heel lang ons zo na!
