September 29 every year
And when the tenants come to pay their quarter’s rent
They bring some fowle at Midsummer, a dish of fish in Lent,
At Christmasse a capon, at Michaelmasse a goose;
And somewhat else at New-yeres tide, for feare their lease flie loose.
Gasciogne, Posies (1575)
September 29 is the Feast Day of the Archangel [...]
