Choise of Valentines, or the Merie Ballad of Nash his Dildo is an erotic poem written some time in the early 1590s by English author Thomas Nashe
It was possibly created for the private circle of Lord Strange's Men. This circulated only in manuscript.
This version was edited and annotated by John S. Farmer, London, 1899.
According to the OED, the word dildo's first appearance in English was in Choise of Valentines.
- My little dildo shall supply their kind,
- A knave that moves as light as leaves by wind,
- That bendeth not, nor foldest any deal,
- But stands as stiff as he were made of steel,
