Priapeia

Priaepia

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

  1. Summons fell Tisiphone; then mightest thou look upon serpents
  2. Wriggling with Hell-sluts around, whilst Luna ruddily blushing
  3. Hid her behind the tall tombs lest she these doings might witness.
  4. Now if I false in aught be, my head bewrayed with white mutings
  5. Dropt by the crows and hither repair to bepiss and conskite me
  6. Julius, frail Pediatia and eke Voranus the robber.
