Dutchmen!

Wilhelmus van Nassouwe
ben ik, van Duitsen bloed,
den vaderland getrouwe
blijf ik tot in den dood.
Een Prinse van Oranje
ben ik, vrij, onverveerd,
den Koning van Hispanje
heb ik altijd geëerd.

If you would, please, explain the last two lines

I know what it says. I'm curious as to why the Dutch would have it in their anthem.

[DaShi]

So you are Dutch?

[Nubclear]

No. Why would you think that?

[DaShi]

Why wouldn't I?

[Nubclear]

Because I've given no indications as to having any ties with the Netherlands?

[DaShi]

I don't know that. I know nothing about you. I'm just shooting in the dark here. Who are you?

[Nubclear]

If you have nothing to add to the thread, TaShi, then please find another to post in.

[DaShi]

But I just got comfortable.

[Nubclear]

My soul is burdened by this fact.
Please leave.

Because they were conquered by the Spanish and eventually drove them out?

And ruin this cheerful banter between us. I dare not deny the forum.

Thus it seems a bit odd to be honouring the Spanish king, doesn't it?

I doubt that the forum really cares what you have to say

[Kuciwalker]

They could be saying they pwned him.
