Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. 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
  4. Ceres' ringlets to crown only one garland we bring.
