Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Snowy Cyllene of the swift-paced God
  2. And seething Lemnos of the limping Sire;
  3. Ennéan matrons unto Ceres flock,
  4. To the raped Goddess oystery Cyzicus;
  5. Gnidos and Paphos lovely Venus hail
  6. While mortals dedicate Lampsacus to thee.
