Priapeia
Priaepia
by divers poets in English verse and prose. Translated by Sir Richard Burton and Leonard C. Smithers
- While for deferring ever finds she cause.
- But, if to 'joy her shall our lot befall,
- We will (Priapus!) gird thy total yard
- With the twin garlands to thy favours due.
- What be this pother? For what cause suspects
- My mind so many thieves will rob my garth,
- When all pay forfeit (as on us they light)
- Of being diggèd deep to bending loins?
