Les infidèles, qu’attendent-ils donc ? Est-ce l’heure qui surgira subitement ? Déjà quelques signes de ce jour ont paru ; mais à quoi leur serviront les avertissements ?

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

Wat wachten de ongeloovigen dan? Op het laatste uur? Dat het plotseling op hen moge nederkomen! Sommige teekens daarvan zijn reeds gekomen, en als het hen werkelijk zal overvallen, hoe kunnen zij dan eene waarschuwing ontvangen?

Che attendono mai gl’infedeli? Forse l’ora che sorgerà all’improvviso? Già alcuni segni di questo giorno sono apparsi; ma a che serviranno loro gli avvertimenti?
