94. An Thou Would Fain Go Filled Thou Mayest

94

A Wheaten Priapus

Also By Marcus Valerius Martialis

Si vis esse satur, nostrum potes esse Priapum:

Ipsa licet rodas inguina, purus eris.

An thou would fain go filled thou mayest devour our Priapus;

Even consume his yard--pure thou shalt ever remain.

If thou desirest to appease thine hunger, thou canst eat our Priapus; thou mayst munch even its privities, thou wilt still be pure.
