Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- Futtered, in furious lust her way she wends.
- One than a goose's marrow softer far,
- Comes hither stealing for its penalty's sake:
- Steal he as please him: I will see him not.
- This, with his snout aye alert to uproot the lilies a-blowing,
- Slain for thy victim 's the pig bred in the stye's tepid reek.
- But, an thy will be not to murther the herd, O Priapus,
- Grant of thy grace yon gate into the garden be shut.
