Ring a Ring O' Roses,
A pocketful of posies,
Atishoo!  Atishoo!
We all fall down!

"Ring a Ring O' Roses" is said to be a macabre parody on the horrors of the Great Plague.  One of the first signs of the plague was a ring of rose-coloured spots, and the protection against this terrible disease was, in popular belief, a posy of herbs.  Sneezing was taken as a sure sign that you were about to die of it, and the last line "We all fall down" omits the word, "dead"!
