OXFORDSHIRE GUY FAWKES' SONG, by                    
First Line: "remember, remember / the fifth of november"
Last Line: And the worse for you
Subject(s): "country Life;gunpowder Plot;oxfordshire, England;" Guy Fawkes


REMEMBER, remember
The Fifth of November.
Bonfire Night—
We want a faggot
To make it alight.
Hatchets and duckets,
Beetles and wedges,
If you don't give us some,
We'll pull your old hedges;
If you don't give us one,
We'll take two:
The better for us
And the worse for you!
