(http://members.chello.se/hansdotter/romanes.html) 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. -- Michael Leuty Nottingham, UK
