Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- Thro' whom my girl (once strong and never false,
- But with her swift untiring paces wont
- To visit us), that hapless Labdacé,
- Swears for her ditches she can hardly crawl.
- Although with yard distent (Priapus!) weighted
- (Wherewith our poet did reprove thee here
- In verse), on no wise deign thereat to blush;
- Thou be not heavier than our poet hung.
