22. Whoso Of Violets Here Shall Pluck Or Rose

22

Priapus

Quicumque hic violam rosamve carpet

furtivumve holus aut inempta poma,

defectus pueroque feminaque

hac tentigine, quam videtis in me,

rumpatur, precor, usque mentulaque

nequiquam sibi pulset umbilicum.

Whoso of violets here shall pluck or rose,

Or furtive greens or apples never bought,

May he in want of woman or of boy

By the same tension you in me behold

Go burst, I ever pray, and may his yard

Against his navel throb and rap in vain.

Whoever shall herein pluck a violet or a rose, or pilfer vegetables or unbought apples, I pray that in the absence of both woman and boy he may continually burst with that rigid tension which you see in me, and that his mentule may in vain beat throbbing on his navel.
