Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Why, O ye pathic girls, with sidelong oglings observe me?
  2. Never this mentule of mine riseth erect from my groin.
  3. Yet though lifeless now and a pole to no one of service,
  4. Build me an altar and it shall be of service to all.
