I post this request here because I didn't know where else to
begin... I hope someone can help me.

In about 1969, I came across a mnemonic poem in "Intellectual
Digest" which listed the kings and queens of England. It began,

"First William the Norman,
Then William his son,
Henry, Stephen, and Henry,
Then Richard, then John,
Then Henry the Third,
Edwards One, Two, and Three,
And again after Richard
Three Henries we see..."

I have been searching for this poem for years without success.
If anyone has the text of this poem or knows where I can find it
I would be most obliged for the information. As I am not
subscribed to this Listserv, please reply by private e-mail to
the address below. My sincere gratitude.
