Summary
| Description |
English: The Venerable Edward Davenant was Treasurer at Salisbury Cathedral from 1634. The Latin text reads: "Here are deposited the remains of Edward Davenant, of London, who gained learning and knowledge of the world at the University, by which he greatly benefitted Ireland, where for 20 years he was a preserver of the peace by relieving their distresses and civilising their ferocity. He was beloved both by English and Irish. Emulous of his brother the Bishop of this Church, he delighted in the Latin and Greek Muses. Every virtue adorned his breast, particularly piety, which was scarce in the time he lived in. After many perils, he died in the last stage of life, lamented by all good men, with the applause of all. What more can you know, reader? he still lives in memory, smells sweet in death, slept in Christ 2d June 1639, aged 70." |
