Happy Guy Fawkes Night

Our friends at Samizdata.net remind us:

It is often said that Guy Fawkes was the only man to ever enter Parliament with honest intentions...

And The Rhyme:

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

Guy Fawkes, twas his intent
To blow up king and parliament.
Three score barrels were laid below
To prove old England's overthrow.

By God's mercy he was catched
With a dark lantern and lighted match.
Holler boys, holler boys, let the bells ring
Holler boys, holler boys, God save the King.
