Merck toch hoe sterck

"Merck toch hoe sterck" ("Notice how strong") is a Dutch war song and sea shanty written between 1622 and 1625 by Adriaen Valerius (who adapted the " Wilhelmus", the national anthem of the Netherlands). The music is based on an Elizabethan lute song written by Thomas Campion and John Dowland in 1606 (What if a Day or a Month). [1] [2] It was adopted as the anthem for Bergen op Zoom.
