Laudabiliter

Failed once again by the men of the cloth
Condemned by the chair of the Rock of Rome
«Here be the parchment and an emerald crusted ring
Go to those barbarians, teach them to sing
To the tune of its church and the hymn of its head
I condemn those barbarians, leave them for dead
If they feel they cannot follow my rule then cast them to sea in a boat made
for fools
And one more thing that I do command
They part with their gold, the good and the bad
So that they do pay homage to the Vicar of Christ
And pay Peter’s Pence for the Church’s rigth
To create new temples and palaces for God
And his servants of course, for these be hard times."
