Tiny Tuesday - Ladybird

Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home.
Your house is on fire and your children have gone!
All except one and her name is Anne. She crept under the frying pan!

Ladybirds must live in a constant state of anxiety and worry about fires. I wonder where that rhyme came from and if there is any substance to it.
I’ve quickly googled it and it might be relevant to the persecution of catholics, with Anne representing the Virgin Mary.
