    Moment of Zen

    Happy Guy Fawkes Day! You can read about it here, or you can read the English folk poem about it from ~1860!


               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!
