Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Are burnt by rigours of a wintry spring:
  2. Neither the winds nor rains nor yet the droughts
  3. Caused just complaining to the apple-tree;
  4. Nor me the starling or the robber 'Daw
  5. Or crow as crone old-grown or watery goose
  6. Or thirsty raven e'er endamagèd.
