Here lie I, Richard Whately
Archbishop of Dublin lately,
Who, for the amelioration
Of the ignorant Irish nation,
Coming hither with much vain knowledge,
Have learned in these poor people's college
Some things that have been a boon to me.
I taught quibble
And I learnt the Bible;
I brought ability
And took away humility.
