"And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay: Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!"

Is a line from the poem 'Spring, the Sweet Spring' by Thomas Nashe, a dude who lived in 15th century England, Lots of old poems have the word 'aye' meaning 'yes', but more like, 'sure enough'. My guess would be he jacked some other poem and was reworking it and ended up with a loose 'aye', and just left it cuz it looks cool.
