Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Which all though safely fenced and hedged by us
  2. Not less are cultured in the neighbouring garths.
  3. Yet, these abandoning, to what grounds I worked
  4. (Most villainous of thieves!), you're fain to flock.
  5. Doubtless for open penalty ye come
  6. And that attracts you wherewithal we threat.
