En del af Guy Fawkes skriftlige tilståelse

Guido Fawkes (født 13. april 1570, død 31. januar 1606), almindeligvis kaldet Guy Fawkes, var en af hovedmændene i den katolske sammensværgelse, Krudtsammensværgelsen, the Gunpowder Plot. Planen var at knuse den engelske protestantiske elite ved at sprænge kong Jakob 1. og begge parlamentets kamre i London i luften under parlamentets åbning den femte november 1605.

Til erindring herom kaldes 5. november for Guy Fawkes' Day.

Traditionens vers

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd (or by God's mercy*)
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring. (Holla*)
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
And what should we do with him? Burn him!
Then what? Remember this day*
