He left Cambridge in 1829 and after a period of depression and despondency, which he relieved by writing poetry, he was ordained in 1832. After brief curacies, he became professor of divinity in King's College, London (1846-1858), dean of Westminster (1856-1863), and finally archbishop of Dublin (1863-1884).
