Pope Formosus

In 893 the Pope died.
Pope Formosus for two years had
Been Pope during great divide
Within the Church and times were bad.
Formosus' corpse was disinterred
And brought to a Vatican room,
Where charges against him were heard -
Ex communication his doom.
His papal vestments were torn from
His corpse by the priestly enclave,
Sent off to eternal helldom
And buried in a pauper's grave.

Then appealed in 897,
Formosus went from hell to heaven.
