AFFABLE- Wondrous affable and as bountiful As mines of India

We know the time since he was mild and affable

AFFAIR. Hope is a curtal dog in some affairs

My stay must be stolen out of other affairs.

Friendship is constant in all other things Save in the office and affairs of love.

Not I, but my affairs, have made you wait

I know thy constellation is right apt For this affair

My affairs Do even drag me homeward

Is not your father grown incapable Of reasonable affairs? .

Putting all affairs else in oblivion, as if there were nothing else to be done

I was a pack-horse in his great affairs; A weeder-out of his proud adversaries.

I'll make ye know your times of business: Is this an hour for temporal affairs?
Affairs, that walk, As they say spirits do, at midnight

My affairs Are servanted to others.

We have lost Best half of our affair.

I know you are no truant. But what is your affair in Elsinore?
Every thing is sealed and done That else leans on the affair.

The affair cries haste, And speed must answer it

There are a kind of men so loose of soul, That in their sleeps will mutter their affairs

I

protest,

I have dealt most directly in thy affair

AFFECT. For every man with his affects is born

In brief, sir, study what you most affect

Lest it be rather thought you affect a sorrow than have it

I do affect a sorrow indeed, but I have it too

The will dotes that is attributive To what infectiously itself affects

I know, no man Can justly praise but what he does affect.

AFFECTATION. - Three-piled hyperboles, spruce affectation, Figures pedantical
No matter in the phrase that might indict the author of affectation.
AFFECTED. He surely affected her for her wit.

Too spruce, too affected, too odd, as it were, too peregrinate, as I may call it
AFFECTION, — Fair encounter Of two most rare affections! .

As school-maids change their names By vain, though apt, affection.
Has he affections in him, That thus can make him bite the law by the nose?
Do their gay vestments his affections bait?

Know you he loves her? I heard him swear his affection

She loves him with an enraged affection; it is past the infinite of thought
Her spirit had been invincible against all assaults of affection

Hath she made her affection known?.

It seems her affections have their full bent

She will rather die than give any sign of affection.

She cannot love, Nor take no shape nor project of affection

Brave conquerors, for so you are, That war against your own affections
Pleasant without scurrility, witty without affection

The better part of my affections would Be with my hopes

Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?
The motions of his spirit are dull as night And his affections dark as Erebus
Come, come, wrestle with thy affections

My affection hath an unknown bottom, like the bay of Portugal.
Affection is not rated from the heart

She moves me not, or not removes, at least, Affection's edge in me
Come, come, disclose The state of your affection.

Let thy love be younger than thyself, Or thy affection cannot hold the bent

Coriolanus, i. 1.

Had she affections and warm youthful blood, She would be as swift in motion as a ball Rom.&Jul. ii. 5.
I weigh my friend's affection with mine own; I'll tell you true.

I have not known when his affections swayed More than his reason
There grows In my most ill-composed affection such a stanchless avarice
Keep you in the rear of your affection, Out of the shot and danger of desire
He hath, my lord, of late made many tenders Of his affection to me
Love his affections do not that way tend

Dipping all his faults in their affection

Or your fore-vouched affection Fall'n into taint

Preferment goes by letter and affection, And not by old gradation

AFFIRMATIVES.- If your four negatives make your two affirmatives, why, then Twelfth Night, v. 1. AFFLICT. Never afflict yourself to know the cause

AFFLICTION. Hast thou, which art but air, a touch, a feeling Of their afflictions?

Since I saw thee, The affliction of my mind amends

I think to repay that money will be a biting affliction

Affliction may one day smile again; and till then, sit thee down, sorrow!

I think affliction may subdue the cheek, But not take in the mind
For this affliction has a taste as sweet As any cordial comfort

Heart's discontent and sour affliction Be playfellows to keep you company!
Affliction is enamoured of thy parts And thou art wedded to calamity
In the affliction of these terrible dreams That shake us nightly
If't be the affliction of his love or no That thus he suffers for

Man's nature cannot carry The affliction nor the fear
Henceforth I'll bear Affliction till it do cry out itself

Had it pleased heaven To try me with affliction
AFFORD.We can afford no more at such a price

The hate I bear thee can afford No better term than this, thou art a villain AFOOT. Were I tied to run afoot Even to the frozen ridges of the Alps

Eight yards of uneven ground is threescore and ten miles afoot with me
I'll not bear mine own flesh so far afoot again.

But afoot he will not budge a foot

So may a thousand actions, once afoot, End in one purpose AFRAID. I will sing, that they shall hear I am not afraid

I am almost afraid to stand alone Here in the churchyard

I am afraid to think what I have done; Look on 't again I dare not AFRIC. We were better parch in Afric sup.

Not Afric owns a serpent I abhor More than thy fame and envy
AFRICA. I speak of Africa and golden joys.

A-FRONT. These four came all a-tront, and mainly thrust at me.
AFTER-DINNER. As it were, an after-dinner's sleep.

For your health and your digestion sake, An after-dinner's breath

AFTER-LOVE. Scorn at first makes after-love the more.

AGE. Who with age and envy Was grown into a hoop

I would with such perfection govern, sir, To excel the golden age

One that is well-nigh worn to pieces with age

A sects, all ages, smack of this vice

That age, ache, penury, and imprisonment Can lay on nature

Hath homely age the alluring beauty took From my poor cheek?

I see thy age and dangers make thee dote

He hath borne himself beyond the promise of his age

A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age

As they say, When the age is in, the wit is out

Trust not my age, My reverence, calling, nor divinity

Time hath not yet so dried this blood of mine, Nor age so eat up my invention
If it should give your age such cause of fear

As under privilege of age to brag What I have done being young

This long age of three hours, Between our after-supper and bed-time.
The boy was the very staff of my age, my very prop.

To view with hollow eye and wrinkled brow An age of
And unregarded age, in corners thrown

By law, as well as reverend age, I may entitle thee my loving father
On us both did haggish age steal on, And wore us out of act
I write man; to which title age cannot bring thee
And dallies with the innocence of love, Like the old age
Either thou art most ignorans by age, Or thou wert born a fool
I would there were no age between sixteen and three-and-twenty
A fair one are you - well you fit our ages With flowers of winter

Sweet, sweet, sweet poison for the age's tooth.

These are flowers Of middle summer, and I think they are given To men of middle age.

My oil-dried lamp and time-bewasted light Shall be extinct with age and endless night.
Thou canst help time to furrow me with age, But stop no wrinkle in his pilgrimage
Thy unkindness be like crooked age, To crop at once a too long withered flower

If speaking truth In this fine age were not thought flattery

Though not clean past your youth, hath yet some smack of age in you

All the other gifts appertinent to man, as the malice of this age shapes them

That are written down old with all the characters of age

My age was never tainted with such shame.

This dishonour in thine age Will bring thy head with sorrow to the ground!
Sorrow would solace and mine age would ease.

In duty bend thy knee to me, That bows unto the grave with mickle age

I prophesy the fearfull'st time to thee That ever wretched age hath looked upon
Thy age confirmed, proud, subtle, bloody, treacherous

I with grief and extreme age shall perish, And never look upon thy face again

He would not in mine age Have left me naked to mine enemies.
The faint defects of age Must be the scene of mirth.

It yet hath felt no age nor known no sorrow

A-GROWING, — He was the wretched'st thing when he was young, So long a-growing
AGUE-My wind cooling my broth Would blow me to an ague

He will look as hollow as a ghost, As dim and meagre as an ague's fit
A lunatic lean-witted fool, Presuming on an ague's privilege.
This ague fit of fear is over-blown; An easy task it is to win our own.
Home without boots, and in foul weather too! How 'scapes he agues?
Worse than the sun in March, This praise doth nourish agues
An entimely ague Stayed me a prisoner in my chamber.
Danger, like an ague, subtly taints Even then when we sit idly in the sun
Here let them lie Till famine and the ague eat them up
A-HUNGRY.-'T were as good a deed as to drink when a man 's a-hungry
Ar-Cannot, By the good aid that I of you shall borrow, Err in bestowing it
Expectation and surmise Of aids incertain should not be admitted.
Which fate and metaphysical aid doth seem To have thee crowned withal
AIDANT. - Be aidant and remediate In the good man's distress
AI. My food, my fortune, and my sweet hope's aim

More grave and wrinkled than the ends and aims Of burning youth
A certain aim he took At a fair vestal throned by the west.

A poor sequestered stag, That from the hunter's aim had ta'en a hurt
I am not an impostor that proclaim Myself against the level of my aim
It il beseems this presence to cry aim To these ill-tuned repetitions
The foemen may with as great aim level at the edge of a penknife
A sign of dignity, a garish flag, To be the aim of every dangerous shot
What you would work me to, I have some aim

I did present myself Even in the aim and very flash of it
Our safest way Is to avoid the aim.

AIMED. Do it so cunningly That my discovery be not aimed at
In fa th, it is exceedingly well aimed.

AIR-Whom I left cooling of the air with sighs

The air breathes upon us here most sweetly

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not

A solemn air and the best comforter To an unsettled fancy

The air hath starved the roses in her cheeks

Who dare tell her so? If I should speak, She would mock me into air

Charm ache with air and agony with words.

To the most wholesome physic of thy health-giving air
Spied a blossom passing fair Playing in the wanton air

Blow like sweet roses in this summer air.

Pale in her anger, washes all the air, That rheumatic diseases do abound

How all the other passions fleet to air, As doubtful thoughts!
