Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- How I be futtered-out yourselves espy
- Used-up, bejaded, lean and pallid grown,
- Who erstwhile ruddy, in my doughtiness wont
- To kill with poking thieves however doughty.
- My side has failed me and poor I with cough
- The perilous spittle ever must outspew.
