Original text and translations

Dutch text In drucke moet ik sterven, Derven doet mij de doot. Venus wilt my bederven Met haren strale groot. Noit schicht so snel en schoot Dan myn liefs mondeken root. Mach ick gheen troest verwerven, Sterven moet ick die doot.

English translation In sorrow I must die, Losing everything through Death. Venus is trying to destroy me With her long arrow. Never before a dart was shot so swiftly Than by my darling’s rosy lips. If I don’t gain comfort Then I just have to die.
