Under influence of a Demon,
French Sorcerer, black dog,
Being known as The Smasher,
Not of this world...
Placed in a Fransciscan monastery,
By his mother in her commandery.
He became enraged, abusing him,
By beating him, he plotted revenge.
He said a black spaniel appeared to him,
Promising to help him, going to his aid
Surrendering himself as in a raid.
Arrested on charges of Sorcery,
Spell-casting, hatred and grief.
The Demon never rescued him,
For against such forces of the law he couldn't win.
He was found guilty and hanged,
But his spirit was encouraged.
Now he hates even more,
Horror, destruction and gore.
[He was executed on July 20, 1582].
