The spectators assembled, the Bishop and his retinue
shall proceed to the Giant Effigy of the Traitor Fawkes. As the torches
blaze all the Bonfire Boys and the assembled masses will join in.
The Celebrated Bonfire Prayers
Remember, remember the 5th of November
The Gunpowder, Treason and Plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, 'twas his intent To blow up the King and Parliament
Three score barrels of power below Poor old England to overthrow,
By God's providence he was catched With dark lantern and burning match
Just about -
to light the prime
Caught him in the nick of time.
Holla Boys, Holla Boys, ring boys ring,
Holla Boys, Holla Boys,God save the King.
Hip Hip Hoorah!
Bishop - Shall this traitor die?
Crowd - Yes!
Bishop - What shall we do with him?
Crowd - Burn him! Burn him! Burn him!
And
Then…
In accordance with immemorial custom the outrageous effigy
of the traitor Fawkes will be consumed by fire and explosions.
