Were all the kings on earth to show | their greatest pomp and power | the smallest leaf they could not grow, | nor graft it on a flower.
Gik alle konger frem på rad
i deres magt og vælde,
de mægted ej det mindste blad
at sætte på en nælde.
Hans Adolph Brorson, Salme 15, "Op, al den ting, som Gud har gjort" (1734), trans. Edward Broadbridge, for (supposedly) Hymns in English: a selection of hymns from The Danish hymnbook (Copenhagen: Det Kgl. Vajsenhus; [Frederiksberg]: I samarbejde med Folkekirkens mellemkirkelige Råd, 2009).
