Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- (Fen as 'tis ever wont); and dread the fight
- Of meagre jaws which ope with such a gape--
- By hairy nostrils capped and eminent nose--
- Thou hadst deemed to see an Epicurean yawn.'
- Thou shalt be pedicate (lad!), thou also (lass!) shalt be rogered;
- While for the bearded thief is the third penalty kept.
