Epitaph for Peter Stuyvesant, 1682Henricus Selyns
Late General of New Netherland
H
He who commander was of all New Netherland.
Unto the foe perforce he gave the country o’er;
If grief and sorrow ever burden hearts, his heart
Did die a thousand deaths and did endure a smart
Insufferable. At first too rich; at last too poor.
