Remember, remember V for Vendetta?:
- Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
- The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
- I know of no reason
- Why Gunpowder Treason
- Should ever be forgot.
- Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
- To blow up King and Parli'ment.
- Three-score barrels of powder below
- To prove old England's overthrow;
- By God's providence he was catch'd
- With a dark lantern and burning match.
- Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
- Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
- Traditional British Rhyme
Guy Fawkes refuses to be forgotten 400 years after his plot to blow up the British Houses of Parliament was thwarted. Read his hand-written confession of the crime, received after his torture. Happy Guy Fawkes Night.
