From Lambert of St. Omer's "Le livre fleurissant en fleurs" (prose translation of the "Liber Floridus") of Enghien (manuscript "Den Haag, KB, 128 C 4"). Full title is "When the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he pursued the pregnant woman. To the woman were given two wings. A flood of water bursts from the dragon's mouth. The earth (represented as a head) opens its mouth and swallows the flood."
