Verses 27<br />

D<strong>at</strong>ing: 1921 or after. 25<br />

presto fais les malles<br />

tire ta bonne partie<br />

avec quelques balles<br />

a ces mots Leryval<br />

file en obobus<br />

et comme le vieux Hannibal<br />

perce le blocus.<br />

a peine <strong>at</strong>terre sa mine<br />

qu'on crie a la foire [?]<br />

un sous la Mursoline<br />

pour l'arr<strong>at</strong>s de gloire 24<br />

24 It is apparent th<strong>at</strong> errors were made by Miss Beach in her transcription.<br />

I have corrected the obvious ones (e.g., changed "le rime" to "la rime"), but<br />

have not tampered with the subtle or obscure, nor have I indic<strong>at</strong>ed where quot<strong>at</strong>ion<br />

marks could be added.<br />

26 Joyce met Larbaud on Christmas Eve 1920. See Beach, Shakespeare <strong>and</strong><br />

Company, p. 57.
