Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. E, D, an thou write, conjoining the two with a hyphen,
  2. What middle D would bisect this shall be painted to view.
  1. Who could believe my words? 'Tis shame to confess that the sickle
  2. Yon thief-folk have availed e'en from my fingers to thieve.
