Phœbus

1. Obsolete spelling of Phoebus
   • 17th Century, William Drummond, Sextain I, in English Poetry, published 1907, page 162:

     The heaven doth not contain so many stars,

     So many leaves not prostrate lie in woods,

     When autumn’s old and Boreas sounds his wars,

     So many waves have not the ocean floods,

     As my rent mind hath torments all the night,

     And heart spends sighs, when Phœbus brings the

     light.
