De dag is over en het hele leven is welhaast over en zijn stervenspijn. O nutteloosheid van elk verder streven, want ieder kan ’t uiterste uur eens zijn 't Is tijd voor het strekken van het laatste wapen Er valt niets meer te winnen of te ontvliën Ik denk alleen nog maar, als ik ga slapen: Weer een dag minder, dat ik je zal zien.
