When I Was On Horseback refers to the 14th of May. As does The Bonny Black Hare.
WHEN I WAS ON HORSEBACK
When I Was on Horseback Steeleye Span https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayYEJX7maQ4
When I was on horseback, wasn't I pretty?
When I was on horseback, wasn't I gay?
Wasn't I pretty when I entered Cork City
And met with my downfall on the fourteenth of May?
THE BONNY BLACK HARE
’ On the fourteenth of May at the dawn of the day
With my gun on my shoulder to the woods I did stray ‘
