Richard Munslow, The Last Sin Eater 1906

Savior of the sin ridden dead,
Sentenced to the hell fires,
He ate the bread,
Drank the ale,
That had been sitting on
The deceased chests,
Their sins consumed in
The bread and the ale
And in Munslow body,
The hell bound deceased,
Sins absolved,
Got a reprieve and
Went to heaven.
But what about Munslow?
Did consuming all those sins
Send him to hell?
Nay, he had a special
Heavenly dispensation.
