grand porcos of johnyellows todos covered of gravy! BLOOM: _(To Stephen)_ Come home. You'll get into trouble. STEPHEN: _(Swaying)_ I don't avoid it. He provokes my intelligence. BIDDY THE CLAP: One immediately observes that he is of patrician lineage. THE VIRAGO: Green above the red, says he. Wolfe Tone. THE BAWD: The red's as good as the green. And better. Up the soldiers! Up King Edward! A ROUGH: _(Laughs)_ Ay! Hands up to De Wet. 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.
