1. Martinet, Martletnoun

   A kind of swallow.

   Etymology: martinet, French.

   This guest of Summer,
   The temple-haunting martlet does approve
   By his lov’d mansionry, that heaven’s breath
   Smells wooingly here. No jutting frieze,
   Buttrice, nor coigne of vantage, but this bird
   Hath made his pendant bed, and procreant cradle.
   Where they most breed and haunt, I have observ’d
   The air is delicate. William Shakespeare, Macbeth.

   As in a drought the thirsty creatures cry,
   And gape upon the gather’d clouds for rain;
   Then first the martlet meets it in the sky,
   And with wet wings joys all the feather’d train. Dryden.
