Part Five A little knowledge of Latin can unlock some interesting stories set in epitaphs. For instance the epitaph of Miler Magrath R.C.Bishop of Down, who traded his religion once to become the Protestant Archbishop of Cashel. This Franciscan man wrote his own epitaph, which is set on a tomb at Cashel Cathedral. He died in 1621 aged 100 years and, wrote a mystery into the last couplet of his epitaph Venerat In Dunum Primo Sanctissimus Olim Patricius Nostri Gloria Magna Soli Huic Ego Succedens, Ultinam Tam Sanctus Ut Ille Sec Duni Primo Tempore Praesul Eram. Anglia Lustra Decem Sed Post Tua Scepta Colebam, Principibus Placui Marte Tonante Tuis His Ubi Sum Positus Non Sum, Sum Non Ubi Non Sum. Sum Nec In Ambobus Sum Nec Utroqcue Loci.
Which when read in a language you understand quickly reads.
Patrick, the glory of our isle and gown, First a bishop in the see of down I wish that I, succeeded him in place As bishop, had an equal grace, I served thee, England, fifty years in jars And pleased thy princes in the midst of wars. Here where I'm placed I'm not; and thus the case is I'm not in both, yet am in both the places.
Historians have suggested that the last two lines suggest that the Archbishop had a reversal of faith at the end and had his buried elsewhere.
