1535 - That was a very good, and bad, year

What a time it was then to be alive
The Renaissance and world exploration
The year was AD 1535
Thomas More executed for treason
For not agreeing to the split with Rome
The first English language Bible printed
Tyndale and Coverdale - hey boys, well done
Meanwhile, in Germany, they defeated
The Munster Anabaptists, kept the lid
On that rebellious brew. Peru was live
Over in South America, as one
Francisco Pizarro that year founded
Lima, which of course subsequently thrived
Unlike the Inca, who faced perdition
