A little Trivia- the nursery rhyme Rain Rain Go Away is believed to be traced back to 1588 with the defeat of the Spanish Armada during the Anglo-Spanish war.
“The Spanish Armada consisted of many Spanish galleons and was sent to invade England. The Armada was led by Duke of Medina Sedonia and the the fleet numbered over 130 ships. The English fleet, under Admiral Lord Howard, totaled 34 small Navy vessels and 163 armed merchant ships. But the great Spanish Armada was defeated. Only 65 Spanish galleons and just 10,000 men returned to Spain. The attempt failed, not only because of the swift nature of the smaller English ships but also by the stormy weather which scattered the Armada fleet.”
Rain, rain, go to Spain,
Never show your face again.
