William Horman's " Vulgaria," published in 1519, nearly a century earlier than the 

 works of Bacon, these passages occur : " Aleys in gardens covered with Vynes and 

 railed up with wythe stakis vaute wyse do great pleasure with the shadowe in 

 parchynge heat." And further : "A vyne clevynge to his railes with his twyndynge 

 stringis and lette hangynge down his clusters of grapis maketh a plesaunt walkynge 

 aley."
