De windverkopers of windvangers, die door wind, verliezen geld en goed: bederven vrouw en kind Verses in Dutch in three columns: Gy die in bubbels, bank en zuid, Uw geld, verstand, en tyd verbruit ... Zee hier een prent van de actienarren Die raazend ondereen verwarren ... Komt roept eer dat men verder dwaal, Dat Quincampoix de duvel haal! Bambario.
