Priapus
Quod monear, non est, quia si furaberis ipse
grandia mala, tibi bracchia macra dabo.
Not to be moved am I; shouldst thou, Thief, venture on thieving
These big apples, to thee pommes de bragues I will give.
I am inflexible; if thou shalt steal my large apples, I will give thee the apples of the breeches[2]
[1. By being sodomised. The text seems to infer that the god took pleasure in
punishing a thief.
2. Apples meaning testicles.]
