Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. For once thou mayest weaken it unavenged;
  2. But when that golden boy again shall come,
  3. Soon as his patter on the path shalt hear,
  4. Grant that a restless swelling rouse my nerve
  5. Lustful a-sudden and upraise it high,
  6. Nor cease excite it and excite it more
