Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. In spring with vari-coloured wreaths I'm crown'd,
  2. In fervid summer with the glowing grain,
  3. Then with green vine-shoot and the luscious bunch,
  4. And glaucous olive-tree in bitter cold.
