This is the entry for [[Yew]] from Maplet's ''[[A Greene Forest]]''.

===Of the Yewe tree.===

The ''Yewe tree'' in [[Greek|Greke]] is called ''Smilax'', the Romaines call it

''Taxus''. It is in bignesse of leafe like the [[Fir]]re tree. [[Diascorides]]

saieth that it first grue in ''Caronia'' a part of [[Italy|Italie]] and [[Spain]]e. It hath that secret maner of working, that whosoever sitteth or lyeth on slæpe under it, keatcheth no good thereby: for oftentimes hurt hath come thereby, and somtimes also death. It was tolde us of it saith ''Diascorides'', that we should not suffer their sheepe to be feede neyther under this, neyther under the [[Juniper]] tree, neyther under those trees whose shadowe is hurtfull. As in his ''Georgickes'' he warneth also, how the swarmes of [[Bee]]s whould be kept away in any case from the Yewes of the Isle of ''Cirse'' or ''[[Corsica]]'' in this verse and the like.

:''Et tua Cyrneas fugiant examina Tacus.''<br>
If that thou wilt thy Bees to be<br>
:In weale and in good case<br>
Take care of ''Cirsies'' Yewes I say<br>
:and of that daungerous place.

And [[Pliny|Plinie]] also in his naturall Historie and xvi. booke recordeth of this, that in ''Arcadie'' the Yewes are of that force to weaken and enfeble the vitall powers in any man sleeping under them, that sometime he forthwith and presently dieth. And [[Plutarc]]h in his ''Sympose'' rendreth the reason, for that the Braine being distempered with so noisome and deadly a fent or smell, causeth the rest of the head not to be well, but undoeth his good feeling, and all at once bereveth him of all. Thus saith ''Plinie'' it doth, whensoever any long tariance is made under it. But then doeth it especially cumber and hurt, yea, most often kill, when as it newlye shooteth out and buddeth forth flowers.
