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

  1. In verse), on no wise deign thereat to blush;
  2. Thou be not heavier than our poet hung.
  1. Know that this crass coarse yard nor lengthens nor stands as becomes it;
  2. Though an thou handle the same unto fair growth will it grow.
  3. Woe's me! how lustful girls are gulled by its seeming dimensions
  4. Than which bigger of bulk never a prickle was seen.
