     Of Adam's first wife, Lilith, it is told / (The witch he loved before the gift of Eve,) / That, ere the snake's, her sweet tongue could deceive, / And her enchanted hair was the first gold.

3. (astrology) The "dark moon" or "black moon", a fictitious invisible second moon of Earth proposed by astrologers in the early 20th century.
