CHRONICLES OF CORNISH SAINTS. I. — S. CUBY. 323 



Cuby's greatest work seems to have been the establishment of 

 a monastery at Holyhead,''^ over which in his old age he presided, 

 and which stamped the wild headland with a sacred character in 

 the eyes of subsequent generations, as its present name bears wit- 

 ness. It was called by the Welsh, " C6r Cybi," — the Choir of 

 Cuby ; and it continued to flourish down to the time of Leland, 

 for he says of it : " At this time it supports canons, and prebend- 

 " aries, and exercises a welcome hospitality to travellers crossing 

 " over to Ireland." t 



" At length," to quote once more from the oldest Latin Life of 

 the Saint, " a multitude of angels came and took his most holy 

 *'soul to heaven, to be in the company of the patriarchs and 

 *' prophets, in the unity of the martyrs and confessors, in the unity 

 " of the virgins and all the righteous saints, and in ' the unity of 

 " the heavenly church ; where there is day without night, tran- 

 " quillity without fear, and joy without end ; where there are 

 *' seven eternal things ; life without death, youth without old age, 

 "joy without sorrow, peace without discord, light without dark- 

 "ness, health without sickness, and a kingdom without change."
