Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Or Almond gleaming with a rosy flame.
  2. I greed not Coleworts or fine greens to grow,
  3. Or Beets of bigness by no garden borne,
  4. Or Scallion ever shooting at the head,
  5. Ne'er deem I any for the seed-full Gourd,
  6. Basil or Cucumbers aground bestrown,
