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. 1621. He that judgeth me is the Lord.--I Cor. iv. Let him who stands take care lest he fall. Harris remarks, that the Roman Catholics of his diocese have a tradition that he returned to his original faith previously to his death, and that though it was pretended that he was buried in his own cathedral, yet he had given private orders for burying his body elsewhere, to which circumstance, as they say, the two last lines of his epitaph allude. " But," says Harris, "although he was no good man, and had impoverished his see by stripping it of much of its ancient estate, yet I do not find any room to call his sincerity as to his religious profession in question, living or dying. These lines rather seem to hint at the separate existence of the soul and body."

The Castle of Termon, like most edifices of the kind erected in the sixteenth century, consisted of a strong keep with circular towers at two of its angles, and encompassed by outworks.
