Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Buttocks of plundering wights was wont to cleave,
  2. For many a night and day in idlesse stand.
  3. I also, suffering pains enough and more,
  4. Flow off in semen and a lecher whiles
  5. Unlive my life-tide. Who could ever think
  6. From lute the lutanist should cut him clear?
