No...


When you don't mean a shrub or a tree but "above" - that's "abore"

You are correct - apologies


Nam tua res agitur, paries cum proximus ardet.

It is your concern when your neighbor's wall is on fire.

Book I, epistle xviii, line 84


Virgil also includes a reference in Book 2

- Iam proximus ardet Ucalegon - now next to him Ucalegon blazes

...but Ucalegon was a friend of Priam in the Illiad [Horace] a character

that Virgil borrowed for the Aeneid [they were friends & borrowed from each other]
