Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Tho' see you drenchèd wet that part of me
  2. Whereby Priapus I am signified;
  3. Nor dew (believe me!) 'twas nor hoary frost,
  4. But whatso gusheth of its own accord
  5. When I bethink me of a pathic god.
