Wont the Priapi of old were to have both Naiads and Dryads

And the stiff vein of the God all had what causes to droop;

Now there's naught of the kind; now so fulfilled my desire is

Fain am I left to believe every Nymph to be dead.

Vile thing 'twere to be done, but lest I burst me with straining

Sickle unhanding I mistress must make of my hand.

At holy offering to the Lustful God

Hired was a harlot for a slender price
