World Bank Poetry

Abstract

This well-known nursery rhyme had a different ending line until the middle of the eighteenth century, when the more palatable “one for the little boy who lives down the lane” substituted “none for the little boy who cries in the lane.” The text in all probability refers to a royal tax of six shillings imposed on wool in 1275, representing one-third of the wool income that henceforth needed to be paid to “the master” (the king). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
