What is the function of now is the month of Maying?
It was printed in Thomas Morley's First Book of Ballets to Five Voyces (1595). The song delights in bawdy double-entendre. It is apparently about spring dancing, but this is a metaphor for making love/sex.

– The melody in 'Now Is The Month Of Maying' was very metered and metric. It was also wide ranged, predictable, lyrical, few large leaps, pitch patterns and had sequence patterns. The song was in five parts. The timbre of the piece was bright, ringing, sweet, full, rich, and resonant.
