Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Matrons avoid this site, for your chaste breed
  2. 'Twere vile these verses impudique to read.
  3. They still come on and not a doit they heed!
  4. O'ermuch these matrons know and they regard
  5. With willing glances this my vasty yard.
