and, used redundantly, as it occasionally is in old ballads: When that I was and a little tiny boy, iii. 395; He that has and a little tiny wit, vii. 296.

Andren, v. 484: see note 3, v. 573.

Andrew-My wealthy, ii. 346: the name of a ship: the conjecture that it was derived from the naval hero Andrea Doria is not a probable one.

angel—An ancient, iii. 157: see note 125, iii. 196.

angel of the air, bird of the air, viii. 122 (Angel, in this sense, is a Grecism,—ǎyeλos, i. e. messenger, being applied to birds of augury : our early writers frequently use the word as equivalent to "bird;" so in Massinger and Dekker's Virgin-Martyr the Roman eagle is called "the Roman angel," Massinger's Works, vol. i. p. 36, ed. Gifford, 1813).

angel, a gold coin, which at its highest value was worth ten shillings: not I for an angel, ii. 97; This bottle makes an angel, iv. 267; your ill angel is light ("The Lord Chief Justice calls Falstaff the Prince's ill angel or genius; which Falstaff turns off by saying, an ill angel (meaning the coin called an angel) is light," THEOBALD), iv. 324; he hath a legion of angels (with a quibble), i. 354; twenty angels, i. 367; the angels that you sent for, ii. 37; his fair angels, iv. 28; Imprison'd angels, iv. 39: and see stamp about their necks, &c. angels' faces-Ye've, v. 529: An allusion to the saying attributed to St. Augustine, "Non Angli, sed Angeli."

Antenor, vi. 14, 46, 53, &c. : "Very few particulars respecting this Trojan are preserved by Homer. But, as Professor Heyne, in his Seventh Excursus to the First Eneid, observes; 'Fuit Antenor inter eos, in quorum rebus ornandis ii maxime scriptores laborarunt, qui narrationes Homericas novis commentis de suo onerarunt; non aliter ac si delectatio a mere fabulosis et temere effusis figmentis proficisceretur'" (STEEVENS).

apparition of an armed Head rises—An, vii. 47; An apparition of a bloody Child rises, vii. 48; An apparition of a Child crowned, with a tree in his hand, rises, ibid.: "The armed head represents symbolically Macbeth's head cut off and brought to Malcolm by Macduff. The bloody child is Macduff untimely ripped from his mother's womb. The child with a crown on his head, and a bough in his hand, is the royal Malcolm, who ordered his soldiers to hew them down [each] a bough and bear it before them to Dunsinane" (UPTON,-whose explanation is at least very ingenious): I may add here a remark of the truly learned Lobeck; Mortuorum capita fatidica jam multo ante Bafometum et illud galeatum phantasma, quod in fabula Shakspeariana introducitur, memorat Phlegon, Mirab. iii. 50, &c." Aglaophamus, p. 236 (note).

appeals me, iv. 113: " "Appeal, v. a. This word appears to have been formerly used with much latitude; and sometimes in such a way that it is not easy to find out what those who used it precisely meant by it. But according to its most ancient signification, it implies a reference by name to a charge or accusation, and an offer, or challenge, to support such charge by the ordeal of single combat. And something of this, its primary sense, may still be descried in all its various applications. Thus, an appeal from one person to another, to judge and decide; or from an inferior to a superior court, is to transfer the challenge from such as are deemed incompetent to accept it, to those who may be competent: and, as 'a summons to answer a charge,' it is nearly equivalent to an actual challenge. 6 And likewise there were many Southland men that appelled others in Barrace to fight before the King to the dead, for certain crimes of lese majesty.' Pitscottie, p. 234. Here the word clearly means challenge; as in the preceding page the laird of Drumlanerick and the laird of Barrace are said to have provoked (which also means challenge [d]) others in Barrace to fight to death'..... but being appealed (challenged) by the Lord Clifford, an Englishman, to fight with him in singular combat.' Hist. of Scotland, f. 365.

'hast thou sounded him,

If he appeal (charge or accuse, and challenge) the duke on ancient malice?'

'Against the Duke of Hereford that appeals me.'

Richard II. i. 1.

apperil, peril, vi. 516.

apple-John, a sort of apple, called in French deux-années or deuxans, because it will keep two years, and considered to be in perfection when shrivelled and withered, iv. 258, 340; apple-Johns, iv. 340 (twice). (“Apple-John, John-Apple. We retain the name, but whether we mean the same variety of fruit which was so called in Shakespeare's time, it is not possible to ascertain. Probably we do not. In 2d pt. Hen. IV. Prince Hal certainly meant a large round apple, apt to shrivel and wither by long keeping, like his fat companion. This is not particularly characteristic of our Johnapple." Forby's Vocab. of East Anglia.)
