Ferdinand von Spanien
His most important work of poetry, "Goddelijcke Wenschen" (Divine Wishes), appeared in 1629. It was a complete adaptation of the Herman Hugo's "Pia desideria" (1624). In 1630 Cornelius Jansen, who had just been promoted to professor in Leuven, called upon de Harduwijnto translate the Counter-Reformation pamphlet "Alexipharmacum" into Dutch. In 1635 de Harduwijn, together with David Lindanus, wrote "Goeden Yever tot het Vaderland ter blijde inkomste van den Coninclijcken Prince Ferdinand van Oostenryck" (Good Zeal for the Fatherland on the joyous entry of the Royal Prince Ferdinance of Austria), celebrating the Joyous Entry of Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria as Governor General of the Spanish Netherlands.
