day-star n.
 1. The morning star; the star which ushers in the day; -- usually the planet Venus, when seen before and just after sunrise.
    A dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts.   --2 Peter i. 19.
 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.
