Life and writing His earliest known work, which identifies him as a licentiate of laws, was a poem in French celebrating the reception of Archduke Ernest of Austria as governor general of the Habsburg Netherlands in 1594, ''Prosopopée d'Anvers à la bienvenue du Sérénissime prince Ernest''. Four years later, at the reception of Albert and Isabella as rulers of the Habsburg Netherlands, he brought out ''Poëme. Advis pour la paix de Belgique'' (1598), a policy paper in verse.

During his time in Ghent he became friendly with local poet Maximiliaan de Vriendt and published two Latin orations on Marian themes, one for the Feast of the Annunciation and one for the Assumption.
