Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Simply to thee I say whatever to say shall behove me,
  2. Since my 'nature' alway openly showeth to fight;
  3. Fain would I pedicate thee who'rt Fain to plunder my apples;
  4. An my want thou shalt grant, eke shall be granted thy want.
