The original text
Described by Van Bork et al. in the Dutch Algemeen Letterkundig Lexicon as a good example of the 18th century "comédie larmoyante" (sentimental comedy or "tearjerker" as it would possibly be known today), the text was published in Amsterdam and Utrecht by G.T. van Paddenburg en zoon and  M. Schalekamp in 1793.
