Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Who ever spied thee, Love! wilfully hiding thy torch?
  2. Ne'er be reproach to myself this mentule ever uncover'd:
  3. Lacking my missile's defence I shall be wholly unarm'd.
  1. Why laugh such laughter, O most silly maid?
