A Dutch poet and statesman; born at Leeuwarden, April 2, 1713; died near Wolvega, Friesland, Sept. 2, 1779. An active public man on the Orange side, he was forced into retirement by an obscure scandal after the death of Anne, wife of William IV., and took to literary work. His best production is an epic, "The Fatherland", portraying the Dutch struggle for freedom. His lyric poetry is good; and a tragedy, "William I"., is still generally read. His work on William IV. is a masterpiece of Dutch prose.
