Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Gifted with pizzle not a whit the worse.
  2. Then who is wise beware of working ill,
  3. Knowing so much of pego waits him here.
  1. Bacchus often is wont with a moderate bunch to be sated,
  2. When the deep brim-full vats hardly the must shall contain;
  3. So when the threshing-floors all fail for the plentiful harvest
