And thus it past on from Candylmas untyl after Ester that the moneth of May was com, whan every lusty harte begynneth to blossom and to burgyne. For lyke as herbes and trees burgenyth and florysshen in May, in lyke wyse every lusty harte that is ony maner of lover spryngeth, burgenyth, buddyth, and floryssheth in lusty dedis. For it gyveth unto all lovers corrayge, that lusty moneth of May, in somthynge to constrayne hym to some maner of thynge more in that moneth than in ony other moneth, for dyverse causes: For than alle erbys and treys renewyth a man and woman, and in lyke wyse lovers calleth to their mynde old gentilness and old servyse, and many kynde dedes that was forgotten by neclygence.SIR THOMAS MALORY. Le Morte Arthur [c 1470].
