Remember, Remember the Fifth of November Poem

The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot!!
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli’ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow!!!

Remember, Remember the 5th of november Lyrics
(Traditional English Rhyme – 17th Century)

Remember, remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, ’twas his intent
To blow up the King and the Parliament
Three score barrels of powder below
Poor old England to overthrow
By God’s providence he was catched
With a dark lantern and burning match
Holloa boys, holloa boys
God save the King!
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!

A penny loaf to feed ol’ Pope
A farthing cheese to choke him
A pint of beer to rinse it down
A faggot of sticks to burn him
Burn him in a tub of tar
Burn him like a blazing star
Burn his body from his head
Then we’ll say ol’ Pope is dead.
Hip hip hooray!
Hip hip hooray!

On the Fifth of November, 1605, a group of Catholic freedom fighters, or terrorists from the monarch’s perspective, attempted to blow up the aristocratic House of Lords and King James 1 due to relentless religious persecution.

Guy Fawkes, a former soldier and demolition expert, was caught below Parliament with 800 kilograms (1760 pounds) of gunpowder. Guy was tortured for days to divulge the names of his other conspirators, then sentenced to be hanged, then drawn and quartered. Rather than suffer the ripping apart of his body by horses, Fawkes jumped into the air and snapped his neck.

The King ordered that every year thereafter dolls of Fawkes were to be burned in effigy as a reminder to all to never commit treason against the State.
