17th century, William Drummond, Sextain I, in English Poetry, published 1907, page 162:

la Greek god Apollo, i.e. Phoebus Apollo, the "radiant one"
la Ovid Metamorphoses 15 547 551 Non tamen Egeriae luctus aliena levare damna valent; montisque iacens radicibus imis liquitur in lacrimas, donec pietate dolentis mota soror Phoebi gelidum de corpore fontem fecit et aeternas artus tenuavit in undas. But the woes of others did not have the strength to lift Egeria's griefs; and lying at the lowest roots of a mountain she melted into tears, until, moved by the faithfulness of her suffering, the sister of Phoebus made from her body a cool spring, and weakened her limbs into eternal streams.
