Meanwhile, I had wondered whether "omne animal etc." was a bit of cod
latin put together fairly recently, but further Googling suggests it
is in fact a real quote from our old chum Galen, no less.

Triste est omne animal post coitum, praeter mulierem gallamque (every
animal is sad after coitus except woman and the cock).

But there are many variations.
