Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. That with his open hand ever brings me offerings humble.
  2. Hung up in honour mine are flowery firstlings of spring-tide,
  3. Wreaths with their ears still soft the tender stalklets a-crowning;
  4. Violets pale are mine by side of the poppy-head pallid;
