[Stone ox! if we were hungry you would satisfy but little us]
[_]
An ox carved in stone, and placed over the door of the public slaughter-house at Nuremberg, bears the following inscription:—
Omnia habent ortus suaque incrementa, sed ecce,
Quem cernis nunquam bos fuit hic vitulus.
Quem cernis nunquam bos fuit hic vitulus.
You never were a calf; though carv'd, you were not carv'd to victual us.
