19th Century Pantomime

This passage is from a pantomime adaptation of the Guy Fawkes story:

    Lovers stand forth. With you we shall begin.
    You will be fair Columbine – you Harlequin.
    King Jamie there, the bonnie Scottish loon,
    Will be a famous cheild for Pantaloon.
    Though Guy Fawkes now is saved from rocks and axe,
    I think he should pay the powder-tax.
    His guyish plots blown up – nay, do not frown;
    You've always been a guy – now be a Clown.
