Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. One whom for blood her arteries within
  2. To have sand or sawdust differing leeches deem--
  3. Such one to visit me anights is wont
  4. Bringing with ghostly leanness ghastly hue;
  5. Whist I (like island iron-forger) seem
  6. To rub and rasp me on a lanthorn's horn
