Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. One whose unopened bowels through her skin
  2. The Tuscan wizard can at will prospect;
  3. One who like rotten pounce so lacking juice
  4. None ever saw her with a slavering lip;
  5. One whom for blood her arteries within
  6. To have sand or sawdust differing leeches deem--
  7. Such one to visit me anights is wont
  8. Bringing with ghostly leanness ghastly hue;
