Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Neither of garden nor of blessèd vine
  2. But of a little holt (Priapus!) guard,
  3. Wherein wast born and may'st be born again;
  4. I warn thee plundering hand alway repel
  5. And keep the fuel for thy master's fire--
  6. An this be wanting, mind! of wood thou art.
