The light of the sun, or the place where it shines; the direct rays of the sun, or the place where they fall. But all sunshine, as when his beams at noon . Culminate from th’ equator.

A place warmed and illuminated; warmth; illumination. The man that sits within a monarch’s heart, And ripens in the sunshine of his favor.

Bright with the rays of the sun; clear, warm or pleasant; as a sunshiny day; sunshiny weather.

Bright like the sun. --Flashing beams of that sunshiny shield.
