The nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosy" is a rhyme
about the plague.
Infected people with the plague would get red
circular sores ("Ring around the rosy"). These sores would smell very
bad so common folks would put flowers on their bodies somewhere
(inconspicuously), so that it would cover the smell of the sores
("...a pocket full of posies...").
People who died from the plague would be burned to reduce the
possible spread of the disease ("...ashes, ashes, we all fall down!")
