ille vocat, quod nos 'psolen', 'psoloenta keraunon',
et quod nos culum, 'kouleon' ille vocat.
'merdaleon' certe nisi res non munda vocatur,
et pediconum mentula merdalea est.
An I rustical seem to have spoken somewhat unlearned,
Pardon me: apples I pluck, pluck I no matter of books;
Yet in my rudeness ok when hearing the dominie reading,
Stood I storing in mind much of Homerical lore.
'Psoleon' fain he calls what we 'Psoloenta' be calling;
What we 'Culum' name, 'Culeon' loves he to term;
'Smerdaleos' forsure designs what is nothing too cleanly
And is the Pedicon's yard rightly 'Smerdalea' hight.
If I, a rustic, shall seem to say anything unlearnedly, pardon me: I gather not knowledge from books, I gather apples. But, untaught, I have often listened to my master, who constantly reads here, and have learnt by heart the Homeric vocabulary. He calls "psolen" [the virile member], what we call "psoloenta". What we call "culum" [the fundament], he "culeon". And surely, unless an unclean thing be called "smerdalos" ["merde"], the mentule of a sodomist is "smerdalea".
