I have a copy of the entire poem framed - right next to the quote on watering the tree of liberty. Fawkes can be faulted for some things - but he took action on what he believed in. That I admire in a very ‘Message to Garcia’ manner.
Just watched a newer Japanese Samurai movie called the 13 Assassins - the main conflict is between those who believe in following the leader no matter what and those who honor the code while looking out for the country as a whole. Kinda prescient.
Here’s the version I have up though I understand there is a very similar version from 1742 I don’t know the differences - and there are a ton of other twists on it.
The Fifth of November
Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England’s overthrow.
But, by God’s providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James’s sake!
If you won’t give me one,
I’ll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn’orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
