Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. From lute the lutanist should cut him clear?
  2. But you, ereeld's marasmus do me dead,
  3. Desist, I pray you from vain diligence,
  4. Nor hang a buckle on Priapus' yard.
  1. The Gods and Goddesses deny thy teeth
  2. A bait, a whetting, neighbour cunnilinge!
