"Forgive him his trespasses.

(Lieutenant Myers of the Dublin Fire Brigade by general request sets fire to Bloom. Lamentations.)

THE CITIZEN

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.)"
