Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Yet though lifeless now and a pole to no one of service,
  2. Build me an altar and it shall be of service to all.
  1. Right through the middle of lads and of lasses a passage shall pierce
  2. This yard, yet shall it touch bearded ones only aloft.
  1. Dodona is hallowed, Jupiter, to thee;
  2. To Juno Samos and to Dis Mykenae;
