Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- Profit thee naught, at higher stead I'll strike.
- Priapus! perish I an words obscene
- And wicked terms to use I'm not ashamed:
- But whenas thou, a god (bylaying shame),
- To me displayest bollocks evident,
- With Coynte the Prickle I must baldly name.
- Dreadful wi' sickle and dire with thy greater part, O Priapus!
