to christian men。 A fiendish libertine from his earliest years this stinking goat of Mendes gave precocious signs of infantile debauchery recalling the cities of the plain； with a dissolute granddam。 This vile hypocrite； bronzed with infamy； is the white bull mentioned in the Apocalypse。 A worshipper of the Scarlet Woman； intrigue is the very breath of his nostrils。 The stake faggots and the caldron of boiling oil are for him。 Caliban！
THE MOB Lynch him！ Roast him！ He's as bad as Parnell was。 Mr Fox！
（Mother Grogan throws her boot at Bloom。 Several shopkeepers from upper and lower Dorset street throw objects of little or no mercial value； hambones； condensed milk tins； unsaleable cabbage； stale bread； sheeps' tails； odd pieces of fat。）
BLOOM （Excitedly。） This is midsummer madness； some ghastly joke again。 By heaven； I am guiltless as the unsunned snow！ It was my brother Henry。 He is my double。 He lives in number 2 Dolphin's Barn。 Slander； the viper； has wrongfully accused me。 Fellowcountrymen； sgenl inn ban bata coisde gan capall。 I call on my old friend； Dr Malachi Mulligan； sex specialist to give medical testimony on my behalf。
DR MULLIGAN （In motor jerkin； green motoroggles on his brow。） Dr Bloom is bisexually abnormal。 He has recently escaped from Dr Eustace's private asylum for demented gentlemen。 Born out of bedlock hereditary epilepsy is present； the consequence of unbridled lust。 Traces of elephantiasis have been discovered among his ascendants。 There are marked symptoms of chronic exhibitionism。 Ambidexterity is also latent。 He is prematurely bald from selfabuse； perversely idealistic in consequence； a reformed rake； and has metal teeth。 In consequence of a family plex he has temporarily lost his memory and I believe him to be more sinned against than sinning。 I have made a pervaginal examination and； after application of the acid test to 5427 anal； axillary； pectoral and pubic hairs； I declare him to be virgo intacta。
（Bloom holds his high grade hat over his genital organs。）
DR MADDEN Hypsospadia is also marked。 In the interest of ing generations I suggest that the parts affected should be preserved in spirits of wine in the national teratological museum。
DR CROTTHERS I have examined the patient's urine。 It is albuminoid。 Salivation is insufficient； the patellar reflex intermittent。
DR PUNCH COSTELLO The fetor judaicus is most perceptible。
DR DIXON （Reads a bill of health。） Professor Bloom is a finished example of the new womanly man。 His moral nature is simple and lovable。 Many have found him a dear man； a dear person。 He is a rather quaint fellow on the whole； coy though not feeble…minded in the medical sense。 He has written a really beautiful letter； a poem in itself； to the court missionary of the Reformed Priests' Protection Society which clears up everything。 He is practically a total abstainer and I can affirm that he sleeps on a straw litter and eats the most Spartan food； cold dried grocer's peas。 He wears a hairshirt winter and summer and scourges himself every Saturday。 He was； I understand； at one time a firstclass misdemeanant in Glencree reformatory。 Another report states that he was a very posthumous child。 I appeal for clemency in the name of the most sacred word our vocal organs have ever been called upon to speak。 He is about to have a baby。
（General motion and passion。 Women faint。 A wealthy American makes a street collection for Bloom。 Gold and silver coins； bank cheques； banknotes； jewels； treasury bonds； maturing bills of exchange； I。O。U。s； wedding rings' watch…chains； lockets； necklaces and bracelets are rapidly collected。）
BLOOM O； I so want to be a mother。
MRS THORNTON （In nursetender's gown。） Embrace me tight； dear。 You'll be soon over it。 Tight； dear。
（Bloom embraces her tightly and bears eight male yellow and white children。 They appear on a redcarpeted staircase adorned with expensive plants。 All are handsome； with valuable metallic faces； wellmade； respectably dressed and wellconducted； speaking five modern languages fluently and interested in various arts and sciences。 Each has his name printed in legible letters on his shirtfront： Nasodoro； Goldfinger； Chrysostomos； Maindorée； Silversmile； Silberselber Vifargent； Panargros。 They are immediately appointed to positions of high public trust in several different countries as managing directors of banks； traffic managers of railways； chairmen of limited liability panies； vice chairmen of hotel syndicates。）
A VOICE Bloom； are you the Messiah ben Joseph or ben David？
BLOOM （Darkly。） You have said it。

（Bloom walks on a net； covers his left eye with his left ear； passes through several walls； climbs Nelson's Pillar； hangs from the the ledge by his eyelids； eats twelve dozen oysters （shells included）； heals several sufferers from kings evil； contracts his face so as to resemble many historical personages； lord Beaconsfield； lord Byron； Wat Tyler； Moses of Egypt； Moses Maimonides； Moses Mendelssohn； Henry Irving； Rip van Winkle； Rossuth； Jean Jacques Rousseau； Baron Leopold Rothschild； Robinson Crusoe； Sherlock Holmes； Pasteur； turns each foot simultaneously in different directions； bids the tide turn back； eclipses the sun by extending his little finger。）

A DEADHAND （Writes on the wall。） Bloom is a cod。 A CRAB （In bush ranger'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 front to nates； three tears falling from his left eye。） Spare my past。
THE IRISH EVICTED TENANTS （In bodycoats； kneebreeches； with Donnybrook fair shillelaghs。） Sjambok him！

You big； you bog； you dirty dog！
You think the ladies love you！
THE PRISON GATE GIRLS

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 e 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！

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 lace prayerbooks and long lighted candles in their hands； kneel down and pray。）

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
