Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- Thou, who lest manly mark thy glances meet,
- Hence fain avertest thee as suits the pure;
- No wonder 'twere if that to see thou fear'st
- Within thy vitals thou desire to feel.
- PEnelope's first syllable followed by firstling of DIdo
- Take, and of CAmus--the front also of REmus the head.
- Whatso thou makest of these unto me when caught in my orchard
- Thief thou shalt give, such pain shall for thy thieving atone.
