Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Now there's naught of the kind; now so fulfilled my desire is
  2. Fain am I left to believe every Nymph to be dead.
  3. Vile thing 'twere to be done, but lest I burst me with straining
  4. Sickle unhanding I mistress must make of my hand.
