- "Sláinte and sláinte and sláinte agin:" from a song, "Father O'Flynn", by poet Alfred Percival Graves, father of Robert Graves
Heres a health to you, Father OFlynn,
Slainte and slainte and slainte agin;
Powrfulest preacher, and tenderest teacher,
And kindliest creature in ould Donegal
Joyce apparently detested the song and wrote a parody, aimed at English novelist Ford Madox Ford, called "Father O'Ford"
Oh Father O’Ford you’ve a masterful way with you.
Maid, wife and widow are wild to make hay with you.
