Jeremias de Decker (1609–1666)
Decker, Jeremias de. A Dutch poet (1609–66); born at Dort. He translated into Dutch, Buchanan’s ‘Baptist,’ and into Dutch verse ‘The Lamentations of Jeremiah.’ Of his original works the best are his household poems and his collection of epigrams. His ‘Good Friday’ recounts scenes of Christ’s passion. His satirical poem ‘Praise of Avarice’ is of little worth.
