BRIGHT PHEOBUS. English, Air (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A very popular hunting song (featuring imitative sounds) that appears in a great many songsheets, printed folios, and musicians' manuscript collections on both sides of the Atlantic.

Bright Phoebus has mounted the Chariot of Day,
And the Horns and the Hounds call each sportsman a-way.

Printed source: O'Farrell (Pocket Companion, vol. III), 1808; pp. 26-27.
