Subject: RE: Folklore: Bright Phoebe-?
A related question.
The c1625 broadsheet print of 'To Drive the Cold Winter Away' or ' All Hail to the Days' says To the tune of 'When Phoebus did rest, &C'.
I've tried to find this tune, song or whatever, with no success. There is a classical quote of 'When Phoebus addressed his course to the west...' But that hasn't helped me either.
Any ideas?
