Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- Ho girl! no whiter-skinned than Moorish man
- Yet, Oh! than every pathic softer far;
- Squatter than Pygmey fearful of the crane;
- Harsher and hairier than pelt of bear;
- Looser than Median or than Indian hose;
- Remain as please thee or at will depart.
- For, though full ready seem I, yet I want
- Of rockets half-score bundles at the least,
- Ere I that ditch-like groin can scrub and crush
- The swarming wormlets of thy privy parts.
