"Flanders, once guided by an auspicous star,
Now unrigged by storms, a drifting wreck,
Flanders, that once glittered with opulence,
Now sunk and mourns in mire and ash,
Flanders, that was always able to rule,
Now resembles a slave in rags!
How deep have you fallen! And still!
We hope that you will stand up once again and will find solace.
Say with us: let it be so!
France rejoices!
But times change,
Fate is but an unsettled thing."
