Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Hung up in honour mine are flowery firstlings of spring-tide,
  2. Wreaths with their ears still soft the tender stalklets a-crowning;
  3. Violets pale are mine by side of the poppy-head pallid;
  4. With the dull yellow gourd and apples sweetest of savour;
