Banbury Cross

Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross
To see a fine lady upon a white horse
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes
She shall have music wherever she goes

The origins of the nursery rhyme are lost to history but one theory states that the fine lady in quesiton is Queen Elizabeth I who visited Banbury in the 16th century.
