| Martlet |
| The martlet Builds in the weather on the outward wall, Even in the force and road of casualty. Merchant of Venice. Act II. Sc. 9. L. 28. | 1 |
| This guest of summer, The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, By his lov’d mansionry, that the heaven’s breath Smells wooingly here; no jutty, frieze, Buttress, nor coign of vantage, but this bird Hath made its pendent bed, and procreant cradle: Where they most breed and haunt, I have observ’d, The air is delicate. Macbeth. Act I. Sc. 6. L. 3. | 2 |
