     Drukner først Barnet, og Haabet er Ude, / Fyldes Brønden for sildig med Leer; / Løser først Døden den Syge hans Knude, / Hjelpe ei Medicamenterne meer, / For sildig man / Giør da Modstand, / Naar som at Skandsen er Fienden i Haand.

     As soon as the child drowns, and hope is dead, / The well is filled with clay too late; / As soon as Death unfastens the knot of the sick person, / The medicines are no longer any use / Too late, one / Then resists, / As when the earth-wall has been surmounted by the enemy.
