Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Liber engages in fray, confiding on sheaflets of Thyrsi;
  2. By th' Apollinean hand shafts (they assure us) are shot;
  3. Hercules' right is armed with the club that cannot be conquer'd;
  4. But a distended yard makes me an object of awe.
