Priaepia

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

  1. When they were little lads was agèd crone,
  2. Sues me for swiver she may never lack!
  3. How if she pray me to be girl again?
  4. Yet, if she's moneyed, she's again a girl.
  1. Whatever thief shall trick my faith may he
  2. Wither, far banisht from th' effeminate bum!
