Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Here has the bailiff, now of this plentiful garden the guardian,
  2. Bidden me care for the place he to my service entrusts.
  3. Thief! thou shalt suffer the pain albeit crying in anger--
  4. 'What! for a cabbage all this? This for a cabbage I bear?'
