Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  2. Artlessly garlanded thy brow we crowned
  3. And with loud shouting often drove from thee
  4. What agèd Raven or what agile 'Daw
  5. Would peck thy holy face with horny beak.
  6. Farewell, Priapus! naught to thee owe I
