201 On those Traytors, who the fift of Nouember, 1605. intended to blow vp the Parliament house with Gunpowder.
These, like the old fain'd Gyant-Generation,
Would pluck the Gods out of their habitation,
With raising Pelion vpon Ossa hill.
And Babel towre build with a strange new skill,
Burne Troy to ashes, and her peace disquiet,
And bring all things vnto a second Fiat.

Addition. On this neuer the like heard of Treason, and neuer to be forgotten Deliuerance.
Ne'r did the like report sound in mans eare:God blest vs, that That sound wee did not heare.
To the Reader. To those Gunpowder Traytors, who on a Tuesday intended to blow vp the Parliament House.
Traytors, would you with fire New-Troy destroy,'Cause Trayterous Greekes with fire destroyd old Troy?
Tuesday is Mars his day, the God of Warre,
A day fit for a plot of Gunpowder.
