vii. 32. 246 CUSTOMS — GUNPOWDER PLOT. My brave boys remember, The fifth, etc., Gunpowder, etc., We will drink, smoke, and sing, boys, And our bells they shall ring, boys, And here's health to our king, boys. For he shall not be forgot. Purton, Wiltshire. BD. ii. 690. Major B. Lowsley gives a Berkshire version in dialect — Remember, remember, the Vifth o' November, Gunpowder treason an' plot. Pray tell muh the rason why G. P. trason. Should iver be vorgot. Our Quane's a valiant zawlger, Car's h...er blunderbus on her right shawlder. Cocks her pistol, drays her rapier, Pi;aay gie us zummit vor her zaayke yer, A stick, an' a styaake vor Quane Vickey's zaayke. If 'e wunt gie on I'll taayke two. The better vor we an' the wus vor you. Chorus. Holler bwoys, holler bwoys, maake yer bells ring, Holler, etc., God zaavye the Quane, Hurrah ! hurrah ! (ad lib.) The part about the " Quane " is, of course, an adaptation. The original rhyme is very old, and at the end of it " God zaave the King," formerly came to rhyme with " Maayke yer bells ring." AD.
