Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Rich be the neighbour-hind and negligent eke his Priapus;
  2. Take what be his: this path hence leadeth straight to his ownings.
  1. This grove to thee devote I give, Priapus!
  2. Whose home be Lampsacus and holt, Priapus!
  3. For thee in cities worship most the shores
  4. Of Hellespont the richest oystery strand.
