Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Nor is trident a-sheath given to the Watery God:
  2. Mars never veileth that blade whose might is his prevalent power,
  3. Nor in her tepid lap Pallas concealeth the spear:
  4. Say me, is Phoebus ashamed his gold-tipt arrows to carry?
