DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Wij hebben den mensch bevelen gegeven nopens zijne ouders, (zijne moeder bewaarde hem in haren boezem met zwakheid en smart, en hij wordt na twee jaren gespeend), zeggende: Wees dankbaar jegens mij en jegens uwe ouders: Tot mij zullen allen komen om geoordeeld te worden.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Abbiamo raccomandato all’uomo suo padre, e sua madre; la madre lo porta nel ventre, e soffre pena sopra pena, nè lo slatta che a capo di due anni. Sii riconoscente verso di me, e verso i tuoi parenti. Tutto finisce a me.
