Priapus

Praedictum tibi ne negare possis:
si fur veneris, impudicus exis.

Know, lest due warning be denied by thee,
An thief thou come male whore shalt surely flee.

Know this, lest thou shouldst deny being warned, if thou comest a thief thou wilt go dishonoured.[2]


Next: 60. Hadst thou as many of apples as offers of verses (Priapus!)
