[ Begyn to synge, Amintas thou; For why? thy wyt is best; And many a saged sawe lies hyd Within thine aged brest. Googe, Eglogs, i. ( Davies.) sage-green (sāj'grēn), n. A gray mixed with just enough pure green to be recognized as green. sage-grouse (sāj'grous), п. A large North American grouse, Centrocercus urophasianus, characteristic of the sage-brush regions of western North America. It is the largest grouse of that country, and nearly the largest bird of the family Te traonidæ, though exceeded in size by the capercaillie. It feeds chiefly on the buds and leaves of Artemisia, from which its flesh acquires a bitter taste, and also on insects, especially gra hoppers, in consequence of which diet the stomach is much le muscular than is usual in this order of birds. See cut under Centrocercus.
