Ring around a rosy, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
This children's rhyme was written about the plague. The 'rosey' was the buboe with the ring around it, and to insure that you didn't catch this disease, people thought that flowers or the aroma of flowers, herbs, and spices could ward off the infection. To shield themselves against the bad miasmas, people carried flowers and aromatics in their pockets to reach in and grab a handful to put over their noses when interacting with others. To carry the myth further, masks in the guise of birds with giant beaks became popular, the beak was filled with the flowers and spices.
The last part of the rhyme refers to the effectiveness of this theory. The ashes are from the piles of burned bodies, and then we all fall down.
