Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Tithonus, Priam, Nestor--every one.
  2. You see how mightily my rage ye rouse
  3. Who hem me ever with a bullfinch hedge
  4. Forbidding robbers from approaching me.
  5. This is to hurt while helping, this is but
  6. To scare the birdies from the birder's snare.
