Excerpt from The Legend of Ulenspiegel, Vol. 2: And Lamme Goedzak, and Their Adventures Heroical, Joyous and Glorious in the Land of Flanders and Elsewhere
The summoned replied: 'even if thou wast to prom ise me an hundredfold more, I would not come down even then.' And so may Orange and the others answer.
And they did so, refusing to appear. Egmont and de Hoorn did not follow their example. And weakness in duty evokes the hour of God and fate.
