      "...the isle is full of noises,
      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
      Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
      Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                which is a quote from Burns Man was made to mourn, though I can't see any references to sheep in the poem
                so it must be a geographical clue. Somewhere near Ayr is a place which means female young sheep I suppose.

                  Man Was Made To Mourn by Robert Burns?

                      Not "Address to a Haggis".

                      EDIT: oooh Sir, please Sir!!

                      Burns's pet sheep, who bade the herder, Hughoc, tell Burns of her death, in the poem 'The Death and the Dying Words of poor Mailie, the Author;s only pet Yowe'. Burns also wrote her elegy in the poem 'Poor Mailie's Elegy'

                      Any use?

                        Just looking in briefly, Burns had a sheep and when she died he wrote 'Poor Mailie's Elegy' Did someone set it to music?

                          These are awesome efforts but you need the Scottish word for ewes and also for hillocks!

                            Of course!

                            Dearie me!

                            EDIT:

                            A googling frenzy reveals: yowe = Scottish word for 'ewe'
                            knock = Scottish word for 'hillock'

                            Yowe-knock .... eunuch??
