So, with those inside the church looking on in silence and the people outside keeping up an incessant din and clatter, the poet of the rich was married to Tryntie Croegers by the good Dominie Megapolensis. But for all such a fair starting off this married life had an untimely ending. Though Nicasius De Sille might win a wife by his poetry, it seemed that he could not hold one.
Nicasius from France, Marcus from Calabria, Capito from Sicily, Eustorgius from Milan where a venerable church is still dedicated to his memory Domnus of Stridon in Pannonia were the less conspicuous deputies of the western provinces. But there were five men whose presence must have been full of interest to their Eastern brethren.
The envoys were five in number, all of them experienced and able statesmen Zuylen van Nyvelt, Joos de Menyn, Nicasius de Silla, Jacob Valck, and Vitus van Kammings. The Queen was in the privy council-chamber, attended by the admiral of England, Lord Thomas Howard, Lord Hunsdon, great-chamberlain, Sir Christopher Hatton, vice-chamberlain, Secretary Davison, and many other persons of distinction.
Then Stuyvesant went to live in a little settlement he had built up and called Bouwerie Village, which was far out on the Bouwerie Road, and Nicasius De Sille settled down as a merchant, and little more was heard of him as a poet. It was a simple enough thing to rename the town and call it after the brother of an English king, but that made but little change in the customs of the people.
Nicasius, with his head cut off at the brows St. Anne with a smiling, arch expression and yet elderly a sharp little chin, large eyes, a thin, long, pointed nose, the look of a youthful dueña, kindly but knowing. "But, indeed, those image-makers excelled in creating these singular, indefinable countenances. Do you recall Our Lady of Paris, later, I believe, by a century?
It was to this well-to-do-set that Nicasius De Sille belonged, and after the going of Steendam he became the only literary man in the colony. He also had come over in the service of the Dutch West India Company, but in a far different capacity from Steendam.
He had lived four years in the town when it was New Amsterdam, and we have his own words for it that he found the settlement scarcely altered a whit from the time he left. And now he took charge of the little church in the fort, the same church where Nicasius De Sille was married with such pomp.
And then one day there was a grand gathering in the stone church inside the fort on the wedding-day of Nicasius De Sille and Mistress Tryntie Croegers.
The envoys were five in number, all of them experienced and able statesmen Zuylen van Nyvelt, Joos de Menyn, Nicasius de Silla, Jacob Valck, and Vitus van Kammings. The Queen was in the privy council- chamber, attended by the admiral of England, Lord Thomas Howard, Lord Hunsdon, great-chamberlain, Sir Christopher Hatton, vice-chamberlain, Secretary Davison, and many other persons of distinction.
To us these things mean but little; but to Hugh they meant very much. The facts must be given, and the reader can decide whether they are beauty spots or warts upon the strong, patient, brave face upon which they appear. His first objective, when he left the Andelys, was Meulan, and there he "approached St. Nicasius."
