Pocket full of posies

Ashes, ashes

What rhyme has the knave of hearts and the queen of hearts?
Asked by Wiki User
In a deck of cards, 'knave' is another word for 'jack', but the word also means 'scoundrel' which is a dishonest or unscrupulous person.
So the nursery rhyme is probably making a joke, by casting the Jack of Hearts in a slightly wicked and villainous role.
