“I hied me off to Arcady—
The month it was the month of May,
And all along the pleasant way,
The morning birds were mad with glee,
And all the flowers sprang up to see,
As I went on to Arcady.”
The Secret of Arcady. Compare Henry Cuyler Bunner, The Way to Arcady.

Poems: In Divers Humours (1598)
Context: As it fell upon a day
In the merry month of May,
Sitting in a pleasant shade
Which a grove of myrtles made,
Beasts did leap, and birds did sing,
Trees did grow, and plants did spring;
Every thing did banish moan,
Save the nightingale alone.

“For it giveth unto all lovers courage, that lusty month of May.”
Book XVIII, ch. 25
Le Morte d'Arthur (c. 1469) (first known edition 1485)
Context: The month of May was come, when every lusty heart beginneth to blossom, and to bring forth fruit; for like as herbs and trees bring forth fruit and flourish in May, in likewise every lusty heart that is in any manner a lover, springeth and flourisheth in lusty deeds. For it giveth unto all lovers courage, that lusty month of May.
