Poetry of Wilhelmus a'Brakel

Has anyone read the book of poems by Wilhelmus a'Brakel entitled Een aandactige Leerling van den Heere Jezus (An Attentive Student of the Lord Jesus)? If so, any thoughts? Is there an English translation?

It is not in English. My source tells me that it is too difficult to translate this poetry from Dutch to English.
