Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor doggie a bone,
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the poor little doggie had none.
 More about that tyrant Cardinal Wolsey in 16th

This time the rhyme is telling about a divorce settlement (Or

Anne Boleyn.
King Henry (The Dog) and the divorce settlement (The
Bone) The Catholic Church (The Cupboard)
