Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Nor yet my burgeon-gems a-budding new
  2. Are burnt by rigours of a wintry spring:
  3. Neither the winds nor rains nor yet the droughts
  4. Caused just complaining to the apple-tree;
  5. Nor me the starling or the robber 'Daw
  6. Or crow as crone old-grown or watery goose
