A DEADHAND: (Writes on the wall) Bloom is a cod.

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.

HORNBLOWER: (In ephod and huntingcap, announces)
And he shall carry the sins of the people to Azazel, the
spirit which is in the wilderness, and to Lilith, the
nighthag. And they shall stone him and defile him, yea, all
from Agendath Netaim and from Mizraim, the land of
Ham.
(All the people cast soft pantomime stones at Bloom. Many
bonafide travellers and ownerless dogs come near him and defile
him. Mastiansky and Citron approach in gaberdines, wearing
long earlocks. They wag their beards at Bloom.)
MASTIANSKY AND CITRON: Belial! Laemlein of
Istria, the false Messiah! Abulafia! Recant!
(George R Mesias, Bloom’s tailor, appears, a tailor’s goose
under his arm, presenting a bill)
MESIAS: To alteration one pair trousers eleven
shillings.
BLOOM: (Rubs his hands cheerfully) Just like old times.
Poor Bloom!
(Reuben J Dodd, blackbearded iscariot, bad shepherd, bearing
on his shoulders the drowned corpse of his son, approaches the
pillory.)
REUBEN J: (Whispers hoarsely) The squeak is out. A
split is gone for the flatties. Nip the first rattler.
THE FIRE BRIGADE: Pflaap!

BROTHER BUZZ: (Invests Bloom in a yellow habit with
embroidery of painted flames and high pointed hat. He places a
bag of gunpowder round his neck and hands him over to the civil
power, saying) Forgive him his trespasses.
(Lieutenant Myers of the Dublin Fire Brigade by general
request sets fire to Bloom. Lamentations.)
THE CITIZEN: Thank heaven!
BLOOM: (In a seamless garment marked I. H. S. stands
upright amid phoenix flames) Weep not for me, O daughters
of Erin.
(He exhibits to Dublin reporters traces of burning. The
daughters of Erin, in black garments, with large prayerbooks and
long lighted candles in their hands, kneel down and pray.)
THE DAUGHTERS OF ERIN:
Kidney of Bloom, pray for us
Flower of the Bath, pray for us
Mentor of Menton, pray for us
Canvasser for the Freeman, pray for us
Charitable Mason, pray for us
Wandering Soap, pray for us
Sweets of Sin, pray for us
Music without Words, pray for us
Reprover of the Citizen, pray for us
Friend of all Frillies, pray for us
Midwife Most Merciful, pray for us

Potato Preservative against Plague and
Pestilence, pray for us.
(A choir of six hundred voices, conducted by Vincent O’brien,
sings the chorus from Handel’s Messiah alleluia for the lord god
omnipotent reigneth, accompanied on the organ by Joseph Glynn.
Bloom becomes mute, shrunken, carbonised.)
ZOE: Talk away till you’re black in the face.
BLOOM: (In caubeen with clay pipe stuck in the band,
dusty brogues, an emigrant’s red handkerchief bundle in his hand,
leading a black bogoak pig by a sugaun, with a smile in his eye)
Let me be going now, woman of the house, for by all the
goats in Connemara I’m after having the father and
mother of a bating. (With a tear in his eye) All insanity.
Patriotism, sorrow for the dead, music, future of the race.
To be or not to be. Life’s dream is o’er. End it peacefully.
They can live on. (He gazes far away mournfully) I am
ruined. A few pastilles of aconite. The blinds drawn. A
letter. Then lie back to rest. (He breathes softly) No more. I
have lived. Fare. Farewell.
ZOE: (Stiffly, her finger in her neckfillet) Honest? Till the
next time. (She sneers) Suppose you got up the wrong side
of the bed or came too quick with your best girl. O, I can
read your thoughts!
