“Vote Guy Fawkes — The Only Man Ever To Enter Parliament With Honest Intentions”

“Guy Fawkes was a man of desperate character. In his person he was tall and athletic, his countenance was manly, and the determined expression of his features was not a little heightened by a profusion of brown hair, and an auburn-coloured beard. He was descended from a respectable family in Yorkshire, and having soon squandered the property he inherited at the decease of his father, his restless spirit associated itself with the discontented and factious of his age.”

“Of all the plots and conspiracies that ever entered into the mind of man, the Gunpowder plot stands pre-eminent in horror and wickedness. The singular perseverance of the conspirators is shown by the fact, that so early as in Lent of the year 1603, Robert Catesby, who appears to have been the prime mover of the plot, in a conversation with Thomas Wintour and John Wright, first broke with them about a design for delivering England from her bondage, and to replant the Catholic religion.”

“Remember, remember, the 5th of NovemberThe Gunpowder Treason and Plot;I know of no reason why the Gunpowder TreasonShould ever be forgot.{{pbr}} Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes,'Twas his intent.To blow up the King and the Parliament.Three score barrels of powder below.Poor old England to overthrow.”

“... to blow you Scotch beggars back to your native mountains.”

“A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.”
