Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. O'ermuch these matrons know and they regard
  2. With willing glances this my vasty yard.
  1. 'Why be my parts obscene displayed without cover?' thou askest:
  2. Ask I wherefore no God careth his sign to conceal?
