Lowly, longly a wail went forth. Pure Yawn lay low. On the mead of the hillock he lay, brief wallet to his side, an arm loose by his staff of citron briar. Most distressfully (but, my dear, how successfully!) to wail he did, his locks of a Lucan tinge, quickrich, ripely rippling, unfilleted, those lashbetasselled lids on the verge of closing time, whiles out of his sidewiseopen mouth the breath of him evenso languishing as the princeliest treble treacle or lichee chewchow purse could buy. Yawn in a semiswoon lay awailing and (hooh!) what helpings of honeyful swoothead! (phew!) which earpiercing dulcitude! As were you suppose to go and push with your bluntblank pin in hand upintohis fleshasplush cushionettes of some chubby boybold love of an angel. Hwoah!

When, as the buzzer brings the light brigade, keeping the home fires burning, so on the churring call themselves came at him^|4, three kings of three suits and a crowner,^4| from all their cardinal parts, along the amber way where Brosna's furzy. To lift them they did^|4, senators four,^4| by the first quaint skreek of the gloaming, and they hopped it up the mountainy molehill, traversing climes of old times gone by, of the days not worth remembering, ^|4remembering,^4| inventing some excusethems, any sort, having a sevenply

There would he lay till they would him descry, spancelled down upon a blossomy bed at one foul stretch amongst the daffydowndillies, the flowers of narcosis ^|4fettering fourfettering^4| his footlights, a halohedge of wild spuds
{f10, 369}
hovering over him, epicures waltzing with gardenfillers, puritan shoots advancing to Aran chiefs. Phopho! The meteorpulp of him, the seamless rainbowpeel. Aggala! His bellyvoid of nebulose with his neverstop navel. Paloola! And his veins shooting melanite phosphor, his creamtocustard cometshair and his ^|4arrowroot asteroid^4| knuckles, ribs and members. Ooridiminy! His electrolatiginous twisted entrails belt.

Those four claymen clomb together to hold their sworn ^|4inquiry starchamber quiry^4| on him. Up to the esker ridge it was, Mullingar parish, to a mead that was not far, the son's rest. First klettered ^|4Matthew Shanator^4| Gregory, ^|4seeking spoor^4| through the deep timefield; then ^|4(Marcus Shanator^4| Lyons, tailing the wavy line of his partition ^|4footsteps) footsteps^4| (something in his blisters was telling him all along how he had been in that place one time); then His Recordership, Dr ^|4Luke Shunadure^4| Tarpey, ^|4caperchasing^4| after honourable sleep, hot on to the aniseed; and, up out of his prompt corner, old ^|4Johnny Shunny^4| Mac, MacDougal the hiker, in the rere of them on the run to make a quorum. Roping their ass he was, their skygrey globetrotter, by way of an afterthought, and such legs on him they were that much oneven it was tumbling he was by four lengths^|4, the big ass,^4| to hear with his unaided ^|4ear ears^4| the harp in the air, the bugle
{f39, 476}
dianablowing, wild as wild, the mockingbird whose word is misfortune, so 'tis said, the bulbul down the wind.

The proto was traipsing through the tangle then and his station was a few perch to the weatherside of the knoll Usnach and it was from no other place unless there that he proxtended aloof ^|4'upon the ether^4'| the hand making silence. The buckos beyond on the lea then stopped wheresoever they found their standings and that way they set watch about him, upholding their broadawake probers' hats on their firrum heads. And a crack quatyouare of stenoggers they made of themselves ^|4in their aggregate age^4|, all told, not even to the seclusion of their beast by them that was the odd trick of the pack ^|4and no friend of carrots^4|. And^|4, whatº do you think,º^4| who ^|4'above all other persons^4'| should be laying there forenenst them only Yawn! All of asprawl he was laying too ^|4amengst the poppies^4| and, I can tell you something more than that, he was profoundly asleep. And it was far more similar to a satrap he lay there ^|4with unctuous beauty^4|, by satellites all surrounded, or for ^|4all whatall^4| I know like the Lord Lumen coaching his preferred constellations in faith and doctrine, for old Matt Gregory 'tis he had the starmenagerie: Marcus Lyons and Lucas Metcalfe Tarpey and the mack that never forgave the ass that lurked behind him, Johnny na Hossaleen.

More than their good share ensorcelled you would say themselves were the way they could not rightly tell their heels from their stools, as they cooched down ^|4a mamalujo^4| by his ^|4cubical^4| crib, curchycurchy, gawking on him and softnoising one of them to another one, the boguaqueesthers.
{f39, 477}
And it is what they began to say to him then, the masters, what way was he.

— He's giving, the wee bairn. Yun has lived.

— Yerra, why dat, my leader?

— Is he boosed or what, ^|4acushla alannah^4|?

— Lesten!

— Why so and speak up, do you hear me, you, sir?

— Or he's rehearsing somewan's funeral.

— Whisht outathat! Hubba's up!

And as they were spreading abroad ^|4on their octopuds^4| their drifter nets, gleamy seiners' nets, and no lie, there was words ^|4'of assonance^4'| being softspoken among those quartermasters.

— Get busy, kid!

— Chirpy, come now!

— The present hospices is a good time.

— I'll take on that chap.

For it was in the back of their mind's ear how they would be spreading ^|4in quadriliberal^4| their azurespotted fine attractable net from Matt ^|4Senior^4| to the ^|4thurrible^4| mystagogue after him and from thence to the neighbour and that way to the ^|4puysny^4| donkeyman ^|4and his crucifer's cauda^4|. And in their minds years ^|4back backslibrisº^4| so it was how they would be meshing that way the quavers of scaly silver and the clutches of chromes of the highly lucid spanishing gold, whilst, as hour gave way to hour, with Yawn himself keeping time with his thripthongue, to ope his blurbeous lips he would the way ^|4'mist myrrh^4'| of the ^|4'fields ^|amoors moor^a|4'| and molten ^|4'moonset moonmist^4'| would be melding ^|4into indo^4| his mouth.
