Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Or that one nightly lustful Rockets rob,
  2. The Mint strong-smelling and the healthful Rue,
  3. The fibrous Garlic and the Onion sharp--
  4. Which all though safely fenced and hedged by us
  5. Not less are cultured in the neighbouring garths.
