Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Right through the middle of lads and of lasses a passage shall pierce
  2. This yard, yet shall it touch bearded ones only aloft.
  1. Dodona is hallowed, Jupiter, to thee;
  2. To Juno Samos and to Dis Mykenae;
  3. While Taenarus' billowy seas confess the King.
  4. Pallas preserveth the Cecropian towers;
  5. Pythius Delphos, navel of the world;
  6. Delia the Cretan Isle and Cynthian hills;
