Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Nay; my perpetual yard of cypress perishing never
  2. Rises for ever and aye worthy the Phidian hand.
  3. You, O ye neighbours, I warn to adore me, holy Priapus,
  4. And to these acres twice seven show ye the highest respect.
