<p>Otto, gerabraakt.<br />Ach wat heb ik bedreven, <br />Aanhoort my naar geklag, <br />ik moet op’t kruis myn leven, <br />Eindigen dezen dag, <br />Door al myn kwaad en boos bedryven,<br />Moet ik een spiegel zyn,<br />ô Heer laat het hier blyven,<br />Ontfangt de ziel van myn.</p>
<p>Barent Voornagel, gerabraakt.<br />Ik die de straf des Heeren, <br />heb in ‘t Rasphuis beproeft, <br />Ging my tot erger keeren,<br />Met menig snood geboeft,<br />‘t Kwaad door my in de Meer bedreven,<br />En omtrent Amstelveen;<br />Doet myn laten op ‘t kruis ‘t Leven,<br />Spiegelt u groot en kleen.</p>
<p>Jan Oost-Inje, gerabraaakt.<br />Aanschouwers altemalen,<br />Ziet een Oost-Indies Vaar,<br />Die op ‘t kruis zal betalen, <br />Voor uwen oogen klaar;<br />Zyn kwaad in Diemermeer bedreven, <br />En weg van Amstelveen, <br />Heer wil myn zonden vergeven, <br />Ontsangt myn ziel met een.</p>
<p>Christiaan de Speelman, Gerabraakt.<br />Heer ik kom hier getreden, <br />Met een bedroefde toon, <br />Kroon met barmhartigheden,<br />Myn ziel in uwen troon, <br />Laat het kneusen van myn leden,<br />Myn gantsche straffe zyn:<br />Toekykers spiegelt u heden,<br />Houd u handen ryn.</p>
<p>Klein of Mooi Pietje, Gerabraakt. <br />O! Kruis daar ik myn leven,<br />Voor alle oogen klaar, <br />Aan God zal overgeven, <br />Ontfangt myn ziel hier naar,<br />Laat als de moordenaar gepresen,<br />Myn ziel in uwen troon, <br />By u Heer doch welkom wezen, <br />Zoo acht ik dat geen loon.</p>
<p>Jacobus Buys, Gehangen.<br />Wat baat nu al de weelden,<br />wat baat myn geld en goed,<br />dat ik door ‘t steelen deelden,<br />Daar ik nu sterven moet, <br />ô Jonkheid gy ziet nu het enden,<br />Van my gesponne draad, <br />ô God doet myn ziel dog wenden, <br />Tot uw genaden staat.</p>
<p>Jan de Boer, Gehangen.<br />Ik heb heel jong begonnen,<br />Myn leertyd was niet uit, <br />Doch is myn draad volsponnen:<br />Waarom ik als een Guit, <br />Moet hangen om myn kwalyk leven,<br />Spiegelt u algemein, <br />Wilt na de raad uws Ouders leven. <br />En houd u handen ryn.</p>
<p>Aanschouwers neemt exempel? <br />Aanziet myn doodbed straf, <br />Ach ik betre de drempel, <br />Van myn benauwde graf:<br />Ik plag te spitten en te graven,<br />Of ik wou in de Aart, <br />Maar ik ben, ô Slaaf der flaven,<br />Dit door myn doen niet waart.</p>
<p>Alle Gelyk.<br />Spiegelt u al te zamen?<br />Die om ons Zonden snood,<br />Voor u en God ons schamen, <br />Door een schandigen dood;<br />Bid voor ons dewyl wy nog leven?<br />Dat God in eeuwigheid?<br />Onze misdaat wil vergeven?<br />En onze ziel bevryd.</p>

<p>Otto, broken on the wheel <br />Oh what have I done,<br />Hear my pleas,<br />I must on the cross end my life this day,</p>
<p>Due to my evil and bad actions,<br />I must be a mirror,<br />O lord let this be the end of it,<br />Receive this soul of mine.</p>
<p>Barent Voornagel, broken on the wheel<br />I, who have endured the punishment of the Lord in the correctional facility,<br />Turned myself to worse,<br />With many evil deeds,<br />Evil, by me, was practiced more and more,<br />And around Amstelveen;<br />Leave my life on the cross,<br />Reflect upon yourself, big and small.</p>
<p>Jan Oost-Inje, broken on the wheel <br />Onlookers all together,<br />See an East-Indian father,<br />Who on the cross will pay,<br />Before your ready eyes;<br />His evil done in Diemermeer,<br />And away from Amsterlveen,<br />Lord will you forgive my sins,<br />Receive my soul at once.</p>
<p>Christiaan de Speelman, broken on the wheel<br />Lord I come treading here,<br />With a saddened tone,<br />Crown with compassion,<br />My soul in your throne,<br />Let it bruise my limbs,<br />My deserved punishment it is:<br />Spectators reflect on your present,<br />Keep your hands clean.</p>
<p>Klein of Mooi Pietje, broken on the wheel<br />O! Cross where I my life,<br />In front of your ready eyes,<br />Will surrender to God,<br />Receive my soul hereto,<br />Let as the murderer be praised,<br />My soul in your throne,<br />With you Lord be welcome,<br />So I do not consider that a reward.</p>
<p>Jacobus Buys, Imprisoned<br />How good does al that wealth,<br />How do money and things benefit me,<br />That I by stealing manifested,<br />Where now I have to die,<br />O youthfulness you now see the end,<br />Of my spun thread,<br />O God do turn my soul,<br />To your compassionate state.</p>
<p>Jan de Boer, hung.<br />I started very young,<br />My apprenticeship was not done,<br />And yet my thread is fully spun:<br />This is why I, like a rogue,<br />Must hang for my sorrowful life,<br />Reflect upon yourself in general,<br />Live by the advice of your parents.<br />And keep your hands clean.</p>
<p>Spectators take example?<br />See my stiff deathbed,<br />Oh I enter over the threshold,<br />Of my narrow grave:<br />I raggedly delve and dig,<br />As much as I wanted in the earth,<br />But I am, o Slave of slaves,<br />Not worth it because of my actions.</p>
<p>All together<br />Reflect yourselves all together?<br />Who because of our evil sins,<br />Are embarrassed to you and God,<br />By a disgraceful death;<br />Pray for us whilst we still live?<br />That God in eternity?<br />Our crime will forgive?<br />And free our soul.</p>

Translation notes:
1. In modern Dutch feeling ‘geradbraakt’ means feeling physically exhausted because of great exertion. However, in the early-modern period, ‘radbraken’ was a form of punishment where a person would be tied down and an executioner would break their limbs with a rod or bar (both the lower arms and legs and the thighs and upper-arms).
2. ‘Oost-Inje’ refers to East-India.
