The original text
Written for the Rederijkers circa 1871, it is possibly a local version of a dramatic sketch called Het Vaderland Roept ("the fatherland calls), performed by the Rederijkers, or a local title for Max Havelaar, Een Strijder voor Recht en Billijkheid, A.A. van der Stempel's adaptation of Multatuli's famous novel Max Havelaar (Published in Amsterdam by G. Theod. Bom, 1871).
