Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  2. Art pleased (Priapus!) under leafy tree
  3. Wont with vine-tendrils sacred sconce to wreathe
  4. And seat thee ruddy with thy ruddled yard?
  5. But, O Triphallus, oft with freshest flowers
  6. Artlessly garlanded thy brow we crowned
