And others say, that, when but three hours old,
The first-born Love out of his cradle lept,
And clove dun Chaos with his wings of gold,
And like a horticultural adept,
Stole a strange seed, and wrapped it up in mould,
And sowed it in his mother’s star, and kept
Watering it all the summer with sweet dew,
And with his wings fanning it as it grew.

yeah yeah shelley
what i’m seeing is it’s archaic
out of common use
for four hundred years
ok for a poem
or a snark about a shark
if that’s what it was
but makes an ordinary headline
jump said shark

Apparently in some quarters it’s an accepted alternate spelling, but not on my watch.
