"journeyall Buggaloffs" is 'General Bobrikoff' who gets 37 mentions total in the guise of an anecdote of Joyce's father's about Buckley and the Russian general: "Buckley was an Irish soldier in the Crimean War who drew a bead on a Russian general, but when he observed his splendid epaulettes and decorations, he could not bring himself to shoot. After a moment, alive to his duty, he raised his rifle again, but just then the general let down his pants to defecate. The sight of his enemy in so helpless and human a plight was too much for Buckley, who again lowered his gun. But when the general prepared to finish the operation with a piece of grassy turf, Buckley lost all respect for him and fired." [more]

Mick MacMagnus MacCawley can take you off to the pure perfection
ReplyDeleteand Leatherbags Reynolds tries your shuffle and cut.
But as Hopkins and Hopkins puts it,
you were the rale eggynaggy and a kis to tilly up.
We calls him the journeyall Buggaloffs
since he went Jerusalemfaring in Arssia Manor.
You had a gamier cock than Pete, Jake or Martin
and your archgoose of geese stubbled for All Angels' Day.
So may the priest of seven worms and scalding tayboil, Papa Vestray,
come never anear you
as your hair grows wheater beside the Liffey that's in Heaven!
Hep, hep, hurrah there!
Hero!
Seven times thereto we salute you!
The whole bag of kits, falconplumes and jackboots incloted,
is where you flung them that time.
Your heart is in the system of the Shewolf
and your crested head is in the tropic of Copricapron.
Your feet are in the cloister of Virgo.
Your olala is in the region of sahuls.
And that's ashore as you were born.
Your shuck tick's swell.
And that there texas is tow linen.
The loamsome roam to Laffayette is ended.
Drop in your tracks, babe!
Be not unrested!
The headboddylwatcher of the chempel of Isid, Totumcalmum, saith:
I know thee, metherjar, I know thee, salvation boat.
For we have performed upon thee, thou abramanation,
who comest ever without being invoked, whose coming is unknown,
all the things which the company of the precentors
and of the grammarians of Christpatrick's
ordered concerning thee in the matter of the work of thy tombing.
Howe of the shipmen, steep wall!
Everything's going on the same,
or so it appeals to all of us,
in the old holmsted here.
As popular as when Belly the First was keng
and his members met in the Diet of Man.
Coughings all over the sanctuary,
bad scrant to me aunt Florenza.
The horn for breakfast, one o'gong for lunch and dinnerchime,
the same shop slop in the window,
Jacob's lettercrackers and Dr Tipple's ViCocoa
and the Eswaurds' desippated soup beside Mother Seagull's Syrup.
Coal's short but we've plenty of bog in the yard.
Meat took a drop when Reilly-Parsons failed.
But barley's up again, begrained to it!
The lads is attending school nessons regular, sir.
Spelling beesknees with hathatansy and turning out tables by mudapplication.
All for the books
and never pegging smashers after Tom Bowe-Glassarse or Timmy the Tosser.
