BIRD. A bird of my tongue is better than a beast of yours
A schoolboy, who, being overjoyed with finding a bird's nest
Why should proud summer boast Before the birds have any cause to sing?
About the sixth hour; when beasts most graze, birds best peck.
Coughing drowns the parson's saw And birds sit brooding in the snow
Who would give a bird the lie, though he cry 'cuckoo' never so?
Every elf and fairy sprite Hop as light as bird from brier

And show the world what the bird hath done to her own nest

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding: Sweet lovers love the spring
That the soul of our grandam might haply inhabit a bird
Suppose the singing birds musicians

BIRD. As that ungentle gull, the cuckoo's bird, Useth the sparrow

The eagle suffers little birds to sing, And is not careful what they mean thereby
Nor coign of vantage, but this bird Hath made his pendent bed and procreant cradle
The obscure bird Clamoured the livelong night

BIT.- Most biting laws, The needful bits and curbs to headstrong weeds
Dainty bits Make, rich the ribs, but bankrupt quite the wits
With a half-checked bit and a head-stall of sheep's leather

In their pale dull mouths the gimmal bit Lies foul with chewed grass
Mine enemy's dog, Though he had bit me, should have stood that night Against my fire K. Lear, iv. 7.

BITE. - Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? — I do bite my thumb, sir

Hoping the consequence Will prove as bitter, black, and tragical

Why, man, how black? Why, as black as ink

The old saying is, Black men are pearls in beauteous ladies' eyes

Is beaten black and blue, that you cannot see a white spot about her

What tellest thou me of black and blue?.

Which indeed is not under white and black.

Black is the badge of hell, The hue of dungeons and the suit of night
And therefore is she born to make black fair
