Mother goose rhyme on Cross Moline?

edit

Hi, looking up "cross moline" in Google I came up with this bit of information, which I was about to add to the page:


A reference to this symbol, of uncertain origin, occurs in the Mother Goose, as a children's jumprope ditty attested in the northern British Isles:The Moline Cross. Accessed April 19, 2009
Moline Cross, Moline Cross,
My gain is now loss
Oh, who will redeem me?
Moline Cross, Moline Cross.

However I could not find any reference to this rhyme through Google, other than the referenced Geocities page. So it cannot be added to the article yet. Does anyone have any independent source for this ditty? All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 03:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

No idea if it's a legit nursery rhyme, but if it is, then it will probably be listed in one of the Opie and Opie books... AnonMoos (talk) 04:14, 20 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merge from Cercelée

edit

A Cercelée is described as basically an exaggerated Cross Moline, and there is not much more to say about it than that, so we might as well merge this as a section of this article. BD2412 T 02:38, 13 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
