ARABIAN TREE

OTHELLO

Of one whose subdued eyes,

Albeit unused to the melting mood,

Drop tears as fast as the ARABIAN TREES

Their medicinable gum.

—Othello [Act V, sc. 2]

Let the bird of loudest lay,

On the sole ARABIAN TREE,

Herald sad and trumpet be,

To whose sound chaste wings obey.

—Phoenix and the Turtle

SEBASTIAN

That in ARABIA

There is ONE TREE, the Phœnix’ throne; one

Phœnix

At this hour reigning there.

—Tempest [Act III, sc. 3]
