All plum'd like estridges that with the wind
Bated like eagles having lately bathed;

As full of spirit as the month of May
And gorgeous as the sun at midsummer;
Wanton as youthful goats, wild as young bulls.

No doubt they rose up early to observe
The rite of May; and, hearing our intent,
Came here in grace of our solemnity.
