13 Little Boy Blue
//The nursery rhyme Little Boy Blue most likely has no real historical background. It has been speculated, however, that it may speak about Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, a powerful political figure and a contemporary of King Henry VIII. His father was said to be a butcher and a cattle dealer, and so in childhood he may have been a shepherd to his father’s flocks. Being very wealthy, powerful and somewhat arrogant, he had many enemies who may have used this fact as a basis to make a mocking rhyme. But, as already said, it’s only a speculation that circulates with this rhyme. Even the fact that his father was a butcher may very well be made up by his enemies to humiliate him.//

Any ideas on 14/46??

Thank you very much elliemay1. I haven’t heard of that, sorry I can’t help you with the other two… yet! Kaishe48

I've had a good look at no. 14 and the letters can make Coronation Tea, with 3 letters left over, but can't find that as a nursery rhyme.

46 the only thing i can think of with a pope is oranges and lemons say the bells of st clement..........pope clement

[elliemay1]

Further to mallyh's post, it was Pope Clement who refused to let Henry Viii separate from his wife

[elliemay1]

46 Might it be this??
//King Henry the Eighth,
To six wives he was wedded.
One died, one survived,
Two divorced, two beheaded //

[elliemay1]

Or, following on from Henry VIII maybe this:
//Mary, Mary Quite Contrary may be about Bloody Mary, daughter of King Henry VIII and concerns the torture and murder of Protestants. Queen Mary was a staunch Catholic and her “garden” here is an allusion to the graveyards which were filling with Protestant martyrs //

Wow, thanks so much for all your help. I have Oranges and Lemons for 44.
Interesting info for 46 though, so more thinking to do.
Thank you all very much. Kaishe48
