Ombrifuge

The belfry proves a fortress of a sort, / Has other uses than to teach the hour, / Turns sunscreen, paravent and ombrifuge.

And so forth; and, complete with hat and gloves, / One on and one a-dangle i, my hand, / And ombrifuge (Lord love you !), case o' rain, / I flopped forth, 'sbuddikins! on my own ten toes, […]

And truly a very remarkable year was that, well-nigh two centuries ago, when the first Ombrifuge, or Umbrella, was unfurled in London Streets.

The “ombrifuge” (I quote the undergraduate again) was a showy but not robust specimen of its kind, and owing to the immense weight of the water, and the impossibility of getting a good purchase, I made a mess of it.

To some their silken hats are dear, to some / Their overcoats of astrakhan or fur, / To me my ombrifuge, my childhood's chum. / He said, " I will inquire about it, Sir."

Laet—Would you have her wear Shoes & Stockings in this Heat? Or be seated like an Infanta beneath a silk Ombrifuge, canopied from the glorious Light?
