Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- A certain person, an thou please (Priapus!),
- Plays me, a girl with piles full many piled;
- And nor she gives me nor denies her gift,
- While for deferring ever finds she cause.
- But, if to 'joy her shall our lot befall,
- We will (Priapus!) gird thy total yard
- With the twin garlands to thy favours due.
