Ulysses

CRAB: (In bushranger’s kit) What did you do in the
cattlecreep behind Kilbarrack?
A FEMALE INFANT: (Shakes a rattle) And under

Ballybough bridge?
A HOLLYBUSH: And in the devil’s glen?
BLOOM: (Blushes furiously all over from frons to nates,
three tears filling from his left eye) Spare my past.
THE IRISH EVICTED TENANTS: (In bodycoats,
kneebreeches, with Donnybrook fair shillelaghs) Sjambok him!
(Bloom with asses’ ears seats himself in the pillory with crossed
arms, his feet protruding. He whistles Don Giovanni, a cenar
teco. Artane orphans, joining hands, caper round him. Girls of
the Prison Gate Mission, joining hands, caper round in the
opposite direction.)
THE ARTANE ORPHANS:

You hig, you hog, you dirty dog!
You think the ladies love you!

THE PRISON GATE GIRLS:

If you see Kay
Tell him he may
See you in tea
Tell him from me.
