  1. Obsolete form of darkness.
    • 1591, Edmund Spenser, The Poetical Works of Edmund Spenser, Volume 5‎[1]:
      The seven-fold yron gates of grislie Hell, And horrid house of sad Proserpina, They able are with power of mightie spell To breake, and thence the soules to bring awaie Out of dread darkenesse to eternall day, And them immortall make which els would die In foule forgetfulnesse, and nameles lie.
