Cize those of their monarchs' doings
they did not like. As result, many
of the rhymes we're written by savage
critics of the government.
Witness the true story of Little
Jack Horner who "sat in a corner
eating a Christmas pie:
The fight between King Henry the
Eighth and the Church came to head
about Christmastime, and the king
ordered confscated the titles of twelve
large estates belonging to the Church
in and around Glastonbury. The deeds
to these estates were done up in
pie" word which in those days
meant collection of any objects -
not only ingredients for a dish to be
baked in an oven.
The Abbot of Glastonbury en-
trusted the delivery of this pie" of
valuable properties to his steward.
young Jack Homer. And somewhere
en- route to the palace in London, the
young man sat in corner and pulled
out plum in the form of the title
to one of the largest and most valuable
estates. He delivered the remainder to
the king.
Then, upon his return from London
to Glastonbury, Horner declared that
the king had rewarded him for his
services by making him a gift of the
estate. He also said that the king had

further honored him by making him a
knight, which is where the what a
great boy AMI Ir' comes in.
In those days, communications were
so slow that Jacks trick was not dis
covered for years. Meanwhile, he
built himself a large house on his
stolen property, and the story of that
house is given in This is the house
that Jack built"
Pfodieiovs FsoH
ANOTHER episode in the life of King
Henry the Eighth which today seems
wrapped up in harmless, childish
words is ''Sing a Song of Sixpence"
Again the pie in which four and twenty
blackbirds was baked refers to a COL
lection of estates, while the blackbirds
were the clergymen, so-called because
of their black robes. They had to
Sing" their pleasure at the kings
action whether they liked it or not.
The queen who was in the parlor
"eating bread and honey was Henry's
wife, Catherine of Aragon, devouring
the sweet words of the Spanish gov
ernment which had promised her that
it would never permit Henry to
divorce her. The maid ''in the garden
hanging out the clothes" was Anne
Boleyn, who had prepared her trous-
seau for marriage to another man

Nide a Cock Horse to Banbury Cross
TO oSee a Fine Lady on a White Horse"

T\ide Cock Horse to Banbury Cross
10 See a Fine Lady on a White Horse"
VYoU bounce a small boy on your
knee to this refrain and he
= laughs. and you laugh, and he
wants to ride cock horse" over and
over again.
DO you know that you are telling
him actual history? Do you know that
the fine LADY, really lived and was
the greatest of England's ancient
sovereigns - Queen Elizabeth? That
she passed through the little town of
banbury in great ceremonial process
sion the day before her coronation,
drawing huge crowds to see her ride
by on her milk-white steed?
And so it is with all the little jingles
and Mother Goose rhymes that chill
dren love and that grown-ups remem-
Der with such fond recollection of their
own childhood days. To us now they
seem just rollicking little scraps of
nonsense. As matter of fact, they are
historically accurate descriptions of
things that really happened
In the simple lines are buried stories
OF great wars, of religious strife and
starving. rioting populations, of crowds
awe-struck by eclipses of the sun or
moon. In them fingers still the musti-
ness and terror of ancient dungeons,
the splendor of medieval palaces.
Scholars have traced some of the
Mother Goose rhymes back to prehis-
toric times. The Cat and the Fiddle"
for instance, is supposed to be a primi-
tive account of an early eclipse in India
when the sacred COW was thought
to have jumped over the moon.
Jack and Jill going up the hill to
fetch pail of water is said to be the
way Icelandic people once put in
symbols the rise and the fall of the
tides. And the crown that Jack broke
was the breaking line of foam as the
water receded.
Most of the rhymes, however, we
owe to the England of the Middle
Ages, when often it meant ones life to
openly criticize the government or a
powerful parsonage 1t was a time,
too. when nicknames were more abun-
dant than they are now. Thanks to
these rhymes the people could get

His popularity shines through the

Wise Advice
LITTLE Boy BLUE was none other
than the renowned Cardinal Wolsey,
who headed the Church during one OF
its richest periods. A large number of
incompetent abbots and friars then
grazed like cows and sheep in the vast
estates owned by the Church. The
Cardinal, complacent and unaware of
the danger besetting the Church and
himself, stayed fast asleep under his
haycock, Hampton Court. The warn
ing to blow your horn," Scottish
expression for communication, was
an admonition to clean house of those
parasites eating away at the Church's
safety.
Poor Humpty-Dumpty was Richard
the Third, who was killed fighting on
Bosworth Field. ~
"Baa, Baa, Black Sheep was a
proletarian cry in the time of King
Edward the Sixth. Because of a tre-
mendous demand for wool both at
home and abroad, most of the farming
land had been turned into pastures for
sheep. Thousands of farmhands were
thrown out of work. my master and
my dame" we're the king and the rich
nobility who prohted from the WOOL
growing. The little boy who cried in
the lane" was the worker. out Of job.
1t is long and motley procession
that prances through the gaily deco
rated pages of our Mother Goose
books, but everyone in that carefree
cavalcade once was real. The bitter
ness some of them caused has passed.
Only their mirthfulness remains. And
the laughter of little children is a
monument we all can envy them.
