A black sheep is a biting beast. - Thomas Bastard, Chrestoleros (p. 90) It would be equally reasonable to say that sheep are born carnivorous, and everywhere nibble grass. - Emile Faguet, said in response to Rousseau, i.e., man being born free, but everywhere in chains She walks--the lady of my delight-- A sheperdess of sheep. Her flocks are thoughts. She keeps them white; She guards them from the steep. She feeds them on the fragrant height, And folds them in for sleep. - Alice Christiana Meynell (Mrs. Alice Thompson), The Lady of the Lambs A leap year Is never a good sheep year. - Old English Saying The mountain sheep are sweeter, But the valley sheep are fatter. We therefore deemed it meeter To carry off the latter. - Thomas Love Peacock, The Misfortune of Elphin--The War-Song of Dinas Vawr
