Ulysses

THE CITIZEN: (With a huge emerald muffler and
shillelagh, calls)

May the God above
Send down a dove
With teeth as sharp as razors
To slit the throats
Of the English dogs
That hanged our Irish leaders.

THE CROPPY BOY: (The ropenoose round his neck,
gripes in his issuing bowels with both hands)

I bear no hate to a living thing,
But I love my country beyond the king.

RUMBOLD, DEMON BARBER: (Accompanied by
two blackmasked assistants, advances with gladstone bag which he
opens) Ladies and gents, cleaver purchased by Mrs Pearcy
to slay Mogg. Knife with which Voisin dismembered the
wife of a compatriot and hid remains in a sheet in the
cellar, the unfortunate female’s throat being cut from ear
to ear. Phial containing arsenic retrieved from body of
Miss Barron which sent Seddon to the gallows.
