2. The sun, as the orb of day. [Poetic]

So sinks the day-star in the ocean bed,

And yet anon repairs his drooping head,

And tricks his beams, and with new-spangled ore

Flames in the forehead of the morning sky.

Milton.

Day"time` (-tm`), n. The time during which there is daylight, as distinguished from the night.
