From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Swan \Swan\, n. [AS. swan; akin to D. zwaan, OHG. swan, G.
      schwan, Icel. svanr, Sw. svan, Dan. svane; and perhaps to E.
      sound something audible.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of large aquatic
            birds belonging to {Cygnus}, {Olor}, and allied genera of
            the subfamily {Cygnin[91]}. They have a large and strong
            beak and a long neck, and are noted for their graceful
            movements when swimming. Most of the northern species are
            white. In literature the swan was fabled to sing a
            melodious song, especially at the time of its death.
  
      Note: The European white, or mute, swan ({Cygnus gibbus}),
               which is most commonly domesticated, bends its neck in
               an S-shaped curve. The whistling, or trumpeting, swans
               of the genus {Olor} do not bend the neck in an S-shaped
               curve, and are noted for their loud and sonorous cry,
               due to complex convolutions of the windpipe. To this
               genus belong the European whooper, or whistling swan
               ({Olor cygnus}), the American whistling swan ({O.
               Columbianus}), and the trumpeter swan ({O.
               buccinator}). The Australian black swan ({Chenopis
               atrata}) is dull black with white on the wings, and has
               the bill carmine, crossed with a white band. It is a
               very graceful species and is often domesticated. The
               South American black-necked swan ({Sthenelides
               melancorypha}) is a very beautiful and graceful
               species, entirely white, except the head and neck,
               which are dark velvety seal-brown. Its bill has a
               double bright rose-colored knob.
  
      2. Fig.: An appellation for a sweet singer, or a poet noted
            for grace and melody; as Shakespeare is called the swan of
            Avon.
  
      3. (Astron.) The constellation Cygnus.
  
      {Swan goose} (Zo[94]l.), a bird of India ({Cygnopsis
            cygnoides}) resembling both the swan and the goose.
  
      {Swan shot}, a large size of shot used in fowling.
