43. Refrain From Deeming All My Sayings Be

43

Priapus

Nolite omnia, quae loquor, putare

per lusum mihi per iocumque dici.

deprensos ego ter quaterque fures

omnes, ne dubitetis, irrumabo.

Refrain from deeming all my sayings be

In sport bespoken for mine own disport;

Thieves taken thrice or four tunes in the fact

(Believe my word) I'll surely irrumate.

Think not that everything I say is spoken in jest and for my own amusement. That ye may not be in doubt, I tell ye this, that all thieves who are often caught I shall irrumate.
