Priapeia

Priaepia

by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers

  1. 'Ware of my catching! If caught, with rod I never will harm thee
  2. Nor to thee deal sore wound using my sickle that curves.
  3. Pierced with a foot-long pole thy skin shall be stretched in such fashion
  4. Thou shalt be fain to believe ne'er had a wrinkle thine arse.
