We&apos;ll also talk a bit about Priapus, the god of vegetable fertility. <a href='https://www.bawdyballads.com/post/episode-10-master-s-maids-and-impotence'>Bawdy Ballads Episode 10: Show notes or transcript</a> <a href='https://ebba.english.ucsb.edu/ballad/22059/xml'>A Dialogue between a master and his maid</a> <a href='https://youtu.be/dLEKdC9zaKg'>Pigstyle alley scene</a> <a href='https://ebba.english.ucsb.edu/ballad/30704/xml'>The Kentish Maiden:OR,</a> <a href='https://ebba.english.ucsb.edu/ballad/30704/xml'>The Fumbling Ale-draper Derided</a> <a href='https://mythologysource.com/priapus-greek-god/'>Priapus</a> <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erotic_art_in_Pompeii_and_Herculaneum'>Erotic art of Pompeii and Herculaneum</a> <a href='https://press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/500768.html'>Two Millennia of Impotence Cures</a> from <a href='https://bookshop.org/books/impotence-a-cultural-history/9780226500768'>Impotence: A Cultural History</a>.  <a rel="payment" href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/bawdyballa1">Support the show</a>

Episode 11: What’s your price. Love and money.

Welcome all you wonderful people, and thank you so much for checking out Bawdy Ballads, where we will explore all the dirty, sassy, and usually surprising old popular songs, and when I say old… I mean old. Four hundred years old old. And along the way we’ll explore all those things that make life a bit more interesting. There’s trickery infidelity, loving, drinking, and fighting. While we dig deep in these songs, we’ll talk about all kinds of things: archetypes, history, folklore, and how so many of these songs hold vast potential for inspiration of new creations.
