Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Now show them hoary-hue'd with grizzling hair,
  2. Still can I perforate those caught by me,
  3. Tithonus, Priam, Nestor--every one.
  4. You see how mightily my rage ye rouse
  5. Who hem me ever with a bullfinch hedge
  6. Forbidding robbers from approaching me.
