Many nursery rhymes were actually about the christian medieval world - the death, tortures and diseases therein. I can only partly recall the meaning of one at the moment:
<i>Ring-a-ring-a-roses</i> = the symptoms of the plague were a circle/ring of pinkish or reddish spots on the body. I think these appeared on people's stomachs and possibly elsewhere on their persons?
<i>A pocket full of posies</i> (forgot how they explained this line)
<i>A'tishue A'tishue</i> (the sneezing symptom that starts the illness)
<i>And we all fall down</i> (everyone catches the contagion after the first person's infection - indicated by the first couple of sneezes above. None is spared, all dead)
Morbid.
