ELM

ADRIANA

Thou art an ELM, my husband, I a vine,

Whose weakness married to thy stronger state

Makes me with thy strength to communicate.

—Comedy of Errors [Act II, sc. 2]

TITANIA

The female ivy so

Enrings the barky fingers of the ELM.

—A Midsummer Night’s Dream [Act IV, sc. 1]

POINS

Answer, thou dead ELM, answer!

—Henry IV, Pt. 2 [Act II, sc. 4]
