Happy Whitsunday

In 2005, 5/15 is Whitsunday
(Ie, white Sunday for the clothes worn during baptism on that day. Aka Pentecost, seven weeks after Easter)

        And I do love a gallant swain,
        Who drives the cart and plough;
        To marry him at Whitsunday
        To heaven I've pledged my vow.
        To go with me thou must consent,
        This gentleman replied,
        Or with this gun my life I'll take,
        This moment by thy side.

                "Janet Jamieson;" Greig, FSNE, # CXVI
