Quotation from: Ulysses

Written by: James Joyce


--A rump and dozen, says the citizen, was what that old ruffian sir John
Beresford called it but the modern God's Englishman calls it caning on the
breech.


And says John Wyse:


--'Tis a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance.


Then he was telling us the master at arms comes along with a long
cane and he draws out and he flogs the bloody backside off of the poor lad
till he yells meila murder.
