"...being resolved to have the new name [Ma-re Mount] confirmed for a memorial... [they] did devise among themselves to have it performed in a solemn manner, with revels and merriment after the old English custom; [they] prepared to set up a Maypole upon the festival day of Philip and Jacob, and therefore brewed a barrel of excellent beer and provided a case of bottles to be spent, with other good cheer, for all comers of that day." (139)
I instantly started thinking of the Oktoberfest festivities I went to when I read this. xd
((P.S. I decided to make my additions into the text a different color, especially when that last "[they]" is part of the actual text, and not my insertion. So... enjoy the prettiness.))
