The Brittish Nursery Rhyme about Bloody Mary - Mary Tudor - или Mary I.
Mary Mary quite contrary,
how does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockleshells
And pretty maids all in a row
We thought it was about a girl named Mary who liked gardening или something - WRONG.
It is in fact about Mary Tudor, or, еще commenly reffered to as Bloody Mary.
Contrary - Means changing things just for the sake of it (Mary Tudor changed Britain back into a Roman Catholic country after her father and her brother changed it into a Protestant way)
How does your Garden Grow? - Mary wanted a baby very badly, but she couldn't have a healthy one, but during the end of her rein, there were obvious signs of her pregnancy, but it turned out it wasn't a baby growing inside of her, but cancer.
Silver bells - she liked the sound of church bells , или it was an instrument of torture which were thumbscrews which crushed the thumb between two hard surfaces by the tightening of a screw.
Cockleshells - Her husband, Prince Phillip, was сказал(-а) to have been with lots of other woman whilst being married to Mary, in those times this was called Conkulding (or something) or, another instrument of torture which was attached to the genitals!
And pretty maids all in a row - The CRUELEST line of all! Mary was сказал(-а) to have had a lot of stillborn little girls, and "secretly" have them buried... in a long row of graves.
CRUEL или WHAT? Mary may have seemed bloodthirsty, but she sounded like a very sad woman. Terrible when you've been Пение this as a child, thinking its about a garden. I sang it all the time.
