Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- And tender Bacchus owneth virginal form;
- Pallas hath grey-blue eyes, Venus a cast;
- Th' Arcadian Fauns thou seest bloody-browed
- And the Gods' Messenger shows proper feet;
- The Guard of Lemnos moves unequal steps;
- Ever untrimmed is Aesculapius' beard;
