Select the personification here: The air breathes upon us here most sweetly. As if it had lungs, and rotten ones. Or as 'twere perfumed by a fen.

Personification gives human-like characteristics to non-human things. The air doesn't have lungs therefore it can't "breathe". The personification here is simply that the air is being described as breathing.
