Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- Nay; my perpetual yard of cypress perishing never
- Rises for ever and aye worthy the Phidian hand.
- You, O ye neighbours, I warn to adore me, holy Priapus,
- And to these acres twice seven show ye the highest respect.
- An thou would fain go filled thou mayest devour our Priapus;
- Even consume his yard--pure thou shalt ever remain.
