No...

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

Tu res agitur cum proximus ardet

[Angelina]

yes Sue - spelling mistake in my latin. I did indeed mean Arbore (being tree)

:-)

Flavia was sitting under the tree. Her friend was playing with the wolf.

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]
