Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Pardon me: apples I pluck, pluck I no matter of books;
  2. Yet in my rudeness ok when hearing the dominie reading,
  3. Stood I storing in mind much of Homerical lore.
  4. 'Psoleon' fain he calls what we 'Psoloenta' be calling;
  5. What we 'Culum' name, 'Culeon' loves he to term;
  6. 'Smerdaleos' forsure designs what is nothing too cleanly
