Contemporary Dutch satirical verses by an anonymous author imagining a prayer by Voltaire: "Lord, too often disowned, Although proclaimed throughout the Universe Hear from my uncouth mouth the latest supplication My heart has loved You, but I, a human being, have sinned Have, Father, denied You yet searched for Your law I see Eternity approaching, yet see it without fear Think not that the Lord, who called me into being Who has blessed me in this dark vale of tears When I have died, will punish me eternally."--Vendor's description
