Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Theseus found lying in the fosse a-cold!)
  2. Hither with tottering gait is wont to come;
  3. And, wrinkled hands upraising to the stars,
  4. Begs that she'll never fail a yard to find;
  5. And, as yester'een she prayed ere daylight fled
  6. One of three teeth she happened out to crache.
