27. Thou, Of Unrighteous Thought, That Hardly

27

To Priapus

Tu, qui non bene cogitas et aegre

carpendo tibi temperas ab horto,

pedicabere fascino pedali.

quod si tam gravis et molesta poena

non profecerit, altiora tangam.

Thou, of unrighteous thought, that hardly canst

Refrain from robbing this my garden-plot,

With foot-long fascinum shalt bulghar'd be:

Yet if so mighty grievous punishment

Profit thee naught, at higher stead I'll strike.

Thou who wickedly designest, and scarce forbearest from robbing my garden, shall be sodomised with my twelve-inch fascinum [phallus]. But if so severe and unpleasant a punishment shall not avail., I will strike higher.
