Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- Doing his duty to guard both vineyard and garth of his lordling.
- Here then, O lads, reftain from ill-mannered picking and stealing;
- Rich be the neighbour-hind and negligent eke his Priapus;
- Take what be his: this path hence leadeth straight to his ownings.
