Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. So when the threshing-floors all fail for the plentiful harvest
  2. Ceres' ringlets to crown only one garland we bring.
  3. Thou too, a minor god, example borrow from the major--
  4. Though few apples we give, take thou our gift in good part.
  1. E, D, an thou write, conjoining the two with a hyphen,
  2. What middle D would bisect this shall be painted to view.
