The Life of the Truly Eminent and Learned Hugo Grotius

BOOK I
48/72

The greatest encomium of the new-married lady is, that she was worthy such a husband as Grotius.

The most perfect harmony subsisted between them, and Grotius held her in the highest esteem[52].

This alliance gave occasion to a number of poems.
John Grotius wrote his son's Epithalamium; Daniel Heinsius composed a Poem on that subject, which, in the opinion of Grotius, was the best of the kind that ever had been written.

Grotius himself celebrated his nuptials in some Latin verses, approved of by Scaliger, and translated them into Dutch: he also wrote some in French on that occasion.
