Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Flow off in semen and a lecher whiles
  2. Unlive my life-tide. Who could ever think
  3. From lute the lutanist should cut him clear?
  4. But you, ereeld's marasmus do me dead,
  5. Desist, I pray you from vain diligence,
  6. Nor hang a buckle on Priapus' yard.
