Ok, that was a bit hard. (It is for Ted Hughes.´* ,-) )
First Marty was an old boar. A real pornographist.
I composed a brilliant (what else?) free translation into Modern High Anglo-Saxon.
But: prurient is his word.
His real killer line is the last one:
Gallus and Priapus in the same line IS fucking cute!
just saying.
apparatus:
1.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galli
2.: catullus!!!! ----> http://www.thelatinlibrary.com/catullus.shtml#63 carmen 63 (Attis)
3.: in your home tongue: http://rudy.negenborn.net/catullus/text2/e63.htm

*I reread sylvie's misérables complètes l'autre nuit meditating my bowel mouvements, moi, je pensait comme ca: How unfair! Ted must've been such a patient guy to bear her. No wonder he turned to Seneca, that bof stoic. ;-) I mean: to name but 2: Dubyou see Williams and Roethke both handled their shit on their own. Not to mention Buk. But this blown-up princess needs xtra care! Sure!
