"Remember, remember the fifth of November
the Gunpowder, Treason and Plot
I see no reason why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot"

Lincolnshire
Remember, remember
The fifth o' November!
Guy and his companion's plot:
We're going to blow the Parliament up!
By God's mercy we wase catcht,
With a dark lantern an' lighted match!
-Long Ago, 1873, vol. i. p. 338.

London
Madam, madam, where you stand,
In your pocket put your hand.
There you will find something nice
For the "Holler" boys’ delight;
A loaf of bread to stick in his eye,
A pound of cheese to choke him,
A bottle of beer to rinse him down,
And a jolly good fire to roast him."
-London, Evening Standard, Nov. 5 1932
