With his Jane, and his Annes, and his Catherines beside,
Sat Henry the Eighth, in true Ottoman pride,
And quaffed off with Wolsey the goblet's red tide;
But over the head of each lady so fair
An axe was impending, that hung by a hair.
Sat Henry the Eighth, in true Ottoman pride,

Had six wives—one Jane, two Annes, and three Catherines, in the following order: 1. Catherine of Arragon, whom he divorced. 2. Ann Boleyn, whom he beheaded. 3. Jane Seymour, who died in giving birth to Edward VI. 4. Ann of Cleves, whom he sent back to her parents. 5. Catherine Howard, whom he beheaded. 6. Catherine Parr, who outlived him.
