Original text and translations

English text

The sullen years are past
Yet repine not at the least
Since William and Maria reign
Safe in its course amidst the storm
From plots and deaths in ev’ry form
To fix the world again, again

Dutch translation

De sombere jaren zijn voorbij
Maar voel niet het minste onbehagen
Want William en Mary heersen
Met vaste koers temidden van de storm
Behoeden ze ons voor samenzweringen en sterfte
En verbeteren de wereld opnieuw en opnieuw

Translation by Nickel van Duijvenboden 2019.
