Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Long as thy wanton hand to pluck refrain
  2. Chaster than Vesta's self thou may'st remain
  3. Else thee my belly's arm shall loosen so
  4. Out of thy proper anus thou shalt flow.
  1. A damsel drier than the raisin'd grape,
  2. Warmer than boxwood or than virgin wax,
  3. Who pismires clustering on her every limb
  4. Maketh a bulky-corpulent folk appear;
