JONET MUDIE'S Monument

Hic jacet virgo castissima Joneta Mudie, filia unigenita quondam Jacobi Mudie praetoris civitatis Deidonance, quae, leti viam patri praetentans, obiit mense September; anno Dom. 1612. Ætatis suae 15. Tota hominis vita, ad mortem, iter est; mors ipsa, ad vitam, via. Omnia debentur fatis; paulumque morati, Serius aut citius, sedem properamus ad unam.

 


 

 

Here lies a most chaste virgin, Jonet Mudie, only daughter to James Mudie, sometime Baillie of the city of Dundee; who, ushering her father the path of death, died as above. The whole life of man is a passage to death, and death itself is a passage to life.

All things depend on fates; all in their turns,

Sooner or later, hasten to their urnes.


The above inscription to Janet Mudie was in all probability be on a tablet fitted in the recess underneath the monument, no trace of it remains.
