Air begot by Heat and Moisture.
When Heat & Moisture joyn with equal merit,They get a Body thin of Air or Spirit,
Which is a Smoak or Steam begot from both;
If Mother Moisture rule, 'tis full of sloth;
But if the Father Fire predominates,
Then it is active, quick, and Elevates:
This Aiery Child is sometimes good, or bad,
According to the Nourishment it had.
