Question: Trying to remember a rhyme about the kings and queens on the UK!?
When i was at school in the 60s a rhyme was taught about the kings and queens,it was a way of remembering the sequence but I cannot remember the last few lines,or even if I have remembered it correctly
Each line has 7 syllables and rhyme in couplets or half couplets
it went thus

Willie, Willie harry stee
Harry , Dick ,John, Harry 3
One two three Neds Richard 2
Henry four, five, six, then who!?
Edward four ,five ,Dick the bad
Henry seven ,eight ,Ned the lad
Nine day jane then bloody mary
Vigin Beth, James then Charlie
Commonwealth and parliament
Charlie two ,James the tyrant
Will and mary good queen anne
George one to four then William,

Was there more to that rhyme and did I get it right!?
