Origin: "From a 16th century legend: King Eric of Sweden had come to an enemy town to attack it. The town's burghers in a show of contempt for the king and his small band of men, hung a goose from a town tower and then sent a message to King Eric that asked in effect, 'What do you want?' "To cook your goose," came the kings reply... Whereupon the Swedes set fire to the town, cooking the goose in the process and sent a message to the burghers stating 'your goose is cooked"

Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue?
