PART II.
;:{fift^ of |^o6ember.
Tune— "Lillibulero."
This is the bless'd day which a plot did betray,
To blow up our king and our parliament too ;
When Papists and Atheists did scaraper away,
And durst not perform what they swore they would do.
The Grunpowder Plot shall ne'er be forgot,
Nor James's intriguing with France and with Rome :
Let's always remember the fifth of November,
When Papists and tyrants did twice meet their doom.
Faux, with his dark lanthorn, was caught by the neck,
As he was preparing to blow up the train,
That so both our church and our state he might wreck,
And bring us to Popery and slavery again.
The Gunpowder Plot, &c.
Faux, Piercy, and Rockwood, with Rome's other saints,
Her Stanleys, her Garnets, her Digbys, her Wrights,
Her Owens, her Winters, her Catesbys, and Grants,
They revell'd by day, and they plotted a-nights.
The Gunpowder Plot, &c.
Her Gerards, her Tesmunds, her Halls, and her Kays,
Her Baldwins, her Bates, and her Treshams, combin'd.
The power of the Pope and the Spaniards to raise,
That they might restore the High-church to their mind.
The Gunpowder Plot, &c.
