Gary,
You are probably looking for the Priapea, a corpus of poems described as
gutter-latin...that pays tribute to the god Priapus, the wooden-phallused
god of the garden. For a sample, see

Bukowski Memorial Center for Classical
I'm not sure if this will have exactly what you're looking for, but I've
found it a useful resource for images of myth, etc.

There is a (not very good) English translation of the Priapeia at
It's Advent; I'm a Christian clergyman.This time of year we clergy

Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit . Aeneid I, 203.
