Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- Such one to visit me anights is wont
- Bringing with ghostly leanness ghastly hue;
- Whist I (like island iron-forger) seem
- To rub and rasp me on a lanthorn's horn
- Wont the Priapi of old were to have both Naiads and Dryads
