Your profile says: Collect 36 barrels.
The poem says: Three-score barrels
A score is 20, not 12. Wouldn't you need 60 instead of 36?

I think we are looking at a case of poetic license.
From Wikipedia:
"By March 1605 they had filled the undercroft underneath the House of Lords with 36 barrels of gunpowder concealed under a store of winter fuel. The barrels contained 1800 pounds of gunpowder."

A score, however, is not a dozen. Nor is it even a baker's dozen.
