a poem written by mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow? with silver bells and cockle shells, and pretty maids all in a row

Mary Mary quite contrary etc. The earliest known version of this poem is quite different. It has been associated with Mary Queen of Scots and Mary Tudor. However, I have my doubts. Other versions refer to cuckolds and cockles makes me think of that word, too. I think it most likely relates to infidelity, marriage, or giving birth. https://postanthropocene.substack.com/
