Looking Glass, II. i. 495, ‘The Magi with their rods beate the ground, and from vnder the same riseth a braue Arbour’; Bacon and Bungay, sc. ix. 1171, ‘Heere Bungay coniures and the tree appeares with the dragon shooting fire’; W. for Fair Women, ii. 411, ‘Suddenly riseth vp a great tree betweene them’.
