TO PRIAPUS by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: LO, IN THY GREEN ENCLOSURE HERE
Last Line: LET THESE TO ENTER AND TO STEAL BE BOLD!
Subject(s): ANIMALS; FIELDS; HORSES; PASTURES; MEADOWS; LEAS;
LO, in thy green enclosure here,
Let not the ugly or the old appear,
Divine Priapus; but with leaping tread
The schoolboy, and the golden head
Of the slim filly twelve years old --
Let these to enter and to steal be bold!
