Westmoreland.
The following doggerel is sung in this county:
“I pray you remember the fifth of November,
Gunpowder treason and plot;
The king and his train had like to be slain—
I hope this day’ll ne’er be forgot.
All the boys, all the boys, let the bells ring!
All the boys, all the boys, God save the king!
A stick and a stake for King Jamie’s sake,—
I hope you’ll remember the bonfire!”
