AIR.-When mine eyes did see Olivia first, Methought she purged the air of pestilence Twelfth Night, i. 1. And make the babbling gossip of the air Cry out.

Methought it did relieve my passion much, More than light airs and recollected terms

The climate's delicate, the air most sweet, Fertile the isle

Pursue him now, lest the device take air and taint

This is the air; that is the glorious sun; This pearl she gave me

Even till unfenced desolation Leave them as naked as the vulgar air
Mocking the air with colours idly spread, And find no check.
Devouring pestilence hangs in our air, And thou art flying to a fresher clime
Had the king permitted us, One of our souls had wandered in the air.
Who lined himself with hope, Eating the air on promise of supply
That, when he speaks, The air, a chartered libertine, is still.
From their misty jaws Breathe foul contagious darkness in the air
Would not let it forth To seek the empty, vast, and wandering air.
Who builds his hopes in air of your good looks, Lives like a drunken sailor on a mast.
And, like a dew-drop from the lion's mane, Be shook to air

I see thou wilt not trust the air With secrets

Ere he can spread his sweet leaves to the air, Or dedicate his beauty to the sun Romeo and Juliet, i. 1.
As thin of substance as the air And more inconstant than the wind

A lover may bestride the gossamer That idles in the wanton summer air
Then sweeten with thy breath This neighbour air
When the sun sets, the air doth drizzle dew

His poor self, A dedicated beggar to the air.

Promising is the very air o' the time: it opens the eyes of expectation
And tempt the rheumy and unpurged air To add unto his sickness.

The noise of battle hurtled in the air, Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan
Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air
Whither are they vanished?- Into the air

.

They made themselves air, into which they vanished

The air Nimbly and sweetly recommends itself Unto our gentle senses
Where they most breed and haunt, I have observed, The air is delicate
Heaven's cherubim, horsed Upon the sightless couriers of the air
Lamentings heard i' the air; strange screams of death

Whole as the marble, founded as the rock, As broad and general as the casing air
I'll charm the air to give a sound, While you perform your antic round

V. I.

Where sighs and groans and shrieks that rend the air Are made, not marked
As easy mayst thou the intrenchant air With thy keen sword impress.
For it is, as the air, invulnerable, And our vain blows malicious mockery
In sea or fire, in earth or air, The extravagant and erring spirit hies
The air bites shrewdly; it is very cold. It is a nipping and an eager air
Bring with thee airs from heaven or blasts from hell, Be thy intents wicked or charitable
But, soft methinks I scent the morning air; Brief let me be

This most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament
Nor do not saw the air too much with your hand, thus, but use all gently

I eat the air, promise-crammed: you cannot feed capons so

You do bend your eye on vacancy And with the incorporal air do hold discourse
His poisoned shot may miss our name, And hit the woundless air
Welcome, then, Thou unsubstantial air that I embrace

Thou know'st, the first time that we smell the air, We wawl and cry
Trifles light as air Are to the jealous confirmations strong As proofs of holy writ
Did sit alone. Whistling to the air.

I am fire and air; my other elements I give to baser life

As sweet as balm, as soft as air, as gentle, O Antony!
You reek as a sacrifice: where air comes out, air comes in

Alexander killed his friend Cleitus, being in his ales and his cups
Dost thou think Alexander looked o' this fashion i' the earth?
Why may not imagination trace the noble dust of Alexander?

ALEXAS, Sweet Alexas, most any thing Alexas, almost most absolute Alexas
ALIKE. Both are alike; and both alike we like. One must prove greatest
ALIVE.There is scarce truth enough alive to make societies secure.
You are the cruell'st she alive

Tell me what blessings I have here alive, That I should fear to die?.

Retailed to all posterity, Even to the general all-ending day

Great Glamis! worthy Cawdor! Greater than both, by the all-hail hereafter!

I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more is none

All my pretty ones? Did you say all? O hell-kite! All?
