Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. To visit us), that hapless Labdacé,
  2. Swears for her ditches she can hardly crawl.
  1. Although with yard distent (Priapus!) weighted
  2. (Wherewith our poet did reprove thee here
  3. In verse), on no wise deign thereat to blush;
  4. Thou be not heavier than our poet hung.
