Quick's New Speech for the Fifth of November,

                  On the DOWNFALL of GUY FAWKES.

      Good gentlefolks pray,
      Remember this day,
To which your kind notice we bring ;
      Here's the figure of sly
      Old villainous Guy,
Who wanted to murder the King :
      With powder a store,
      He bitterly swore,
As he skulk'd in the vault to prepare;
      How the Parliament too,
      By him and his crew,
Should all be blown up in the air.
   So please to remember the fifth of November,
      Gunpowder treason and plot ;
   We know no reason why gunpowder treason
      Should ever be forgot

      But James all so wise,
      Did the Papists surprise,
Who plotted the cruelty great ;
      He guessed their intent,
      And Suffolk was sent,
Who sav'd both the kingdom and state.
      With a lanthorn was found,
      Guy Fawkes under ground,
And quick was the traitor bound fast :
      They said he should die,
      So hung him up high,
And burnt him to ashes at last.
                  So please to remember, &c.

      So we once a year,
      Go round without fear,
To keep in remembrance the day:
      With assistance from you,
      To bring to your view,
Guy Fawkes again blazing away !
      While with crackers and fire,
      In fullest desire,
In his chair he thus merrily burns,
      So jolly we'll be,
      And shout, may you see,
Of this day many happy returns.
                  So please to remember, &c.

Then hollo boys! hollo boys! shout and huzza,
Hollo boys ! hollo boys! keep up the day,
Hollo boys! hollo boys! let the bells ring,
Down with the Pope, and God save the King.
                              Huzza! Huzza! Huzza !
