  • yarb Adieu! faint-hearted instrument of lust;
    That falselie hath betrayde our equale trust.
    Hence-forth no more will I implore thine ayde,
    Or thee, or man of cowardize upbrayde. 236

    My little dilldo shall suply their kinde:
    A knaue, that moues as light as leaues by winde;
    That bendeth not, nor fouldeth anie deale,
    But stands as stiff as he were made of steele; 240

    And playes at peacock twixt my leggs right blythe,
    And doeth my tickling swage with manie a sighe.
    For, by saint Runnion! he'le refresh me well;
    And neuer make my tender bellie swell. 244

  • madmouth My Lady Southesk, Heav'ns prosper her for't,
    First Cloath'd him in Satten, then brought him to Court;
    But his Head in the Circle, he Scarcely durst Show,
    So modest a Youth was Signior Dildo.
    The good Lady Suffolk thinking no harm,
    Had got this poor Stranger hid under her Arm:
    Lady Betty by Chance came the Secret to know,
    And from her own Mother, Stole Signior Dildo

  • chained_bear Oddly enough, just after listing this (thanks to bilby), I read a travel article in the Washington Post about Newfoundland:

    "Then there's the village of Dildo. Located across from Spread Eagle on Conception Bay near Come By Chance, Dildo entices me to investigate. I stop first at the local convenience store. The clerk fumes, hates that people come here only to learn why Dildo has its name and not to see the town. Seems that folks tried to change the name a few years back, but the resolution was defeated. Some townsfolk now are trying to build civic pride: "D" stands for Dignity, "I" for...." --Paula Stone, "A Trip Off the Old Rock," Washington Post, Sunday, April 22, 2007; Page P01. Jan 5, 2008
