two beautiful children which she had borne in 1674 and 1675; 

both in May; the month of flowers。 



As a matter of course; one was a boy; the other a girl; the 

former being called Cornelius; the other Rosa。 



Van Baerle remained faithfully attached to Rosa and to his 

tulips。 The whole of his life was devoted to the happiness 

of his wife and the culture of flowers; in the latter of 

which occupations he was so successful that a great number 

of his varieties found a place in the catalogue of Holland。 



The two principal ornaments of his drawing…room were those 

two leaves from the Bible of Cornelius de Witt; in large 

golden frames; one of them containing the letter in which 

his godfather enjoined him to burn the correspondence of the 

Marquis de Louvois; and the other his own will; in which he 

bequeathed to Rosa his bulbs under condition that she should 

marry a young man of from twenty…six to twenty…eight years; 

who loved her and whom she loved; a condition which was 

scrupulously fulfilled; although; or rather because; 

Cornelius did not die。 



And to ward off any envious attempts of another Isaac 

Boxtel; he wrote over his door the lines which Grotius had; 

on the day of his flight; scratched on the walls of his 

prison:  



〃Sometimes one has suffered so much that he has the right 

never to be able to say; 'I am too happy。'〃
