Origins
Modern rhythm is the most recognizable of a number of verses beginning with the line "Ride the Horses to Banbury Cross", some of which were noted earlier. This includes a sentence printed in Beautiful Tommy Thumb (c 1744), with the lyrics:
A reference to 1725 for 'Now on Cock-horse he rides' might offend this more famous rhyme, and it is the earliest clue we have that they exist. Early versions of the modern verse at Gammer Gurton's Garland or The Nursery Parnassus, printed in London in 1784, differ significantly from the modern version because the subject is not a good woman but an "old lady". The version was printed in the Tommy Thumb Songs in America in 1788, which may have been in the original edition (c 1744), had a "fine lady", but the next extant version, > Tom Tit's Songs (printed in London around 1790), has:
Interpretation
The instability of the previously recorded lyrics does not prevent sufficient speculation about the meaning of the poem.
The medieval date has been debated for rhyme on the grounds that the bell worn on the toes of the woman refers to a fashion wearing a bell on the tip of a shoe in the 15th century, but due to their absence from so many early versions, the identification is speculative. Similarly, the main Banbury Cross was lowered around 1600, but the other crosses were present in the city and, as is often the case, the place probably retained the name, making it difficult to argue for the ancient epoch of this poem. fact.
"Horse" could mean a high-pitched horse, and an extra horse to help pull a train or train up the hill. It can also mean a whole horse or one that is not bombed. From the mid-16th century it also meant hobbies of pretending or knee of adults.
Although not present or significantly different in many early versions, the fine lady has been associated with Queen Elizabeth I, Lady Godiva, and Celia Fiennes, whose brothers are William Fiennes, 3 Viscount Saye and Sele ( c 1641-1698) of Broughton Castle, Banbury, on the grounds that the line should be 'To see a Fiennes lady'. There is no corroborating evidence to support these cases.
