<h2> I </h2>
<p>Here's where I've planted my garden and here I shall care for love's blossoms—<br/>
<br/>
As I am taught by my muse, carefully sort them in plots:<br/>
<br/>
Fertile branches, whose product is golden fruit of my lifetime,<br/>
<br/>
Set here in happier years, tended with pleasure today.<br/>
<br/>
You, stand here at my side, good Priapus—albeit from thieves I've<br/>
<br/>
Nothing to fear. Freely pluck, whosoever would eat.<br/>
<br/>
—Hypocrites, those are the ones! If weakened with shame and bad conscience<br/>
<br/>
One of those criminals comes, squinting out over my garden,<br/>
<br/>
Bridling at nature's pure fruit, punish the knave in his hindparts,<br/>
<br/>
Using the stake which so red rises there at your loins.<br/></p>
