FDV: "and either he did what you know or he did not what you know {with the clouds alone for {weeping} witnesses} and that'll do now" →

And aither he cursed and recursed

AngloIrish accent: aither: either
Greek aithêr: ether

slang footle: to talk or act foolishly (cf fuck around) [wkt]

phrase what the butler saw: euphemism for sex (especially in a voyeuristic context)

U513: "BLOOM I was precocious. Youth. The fauna. I sacrificed to the god of the forest. The flowers that bloom in the spring. It was pairing time. Capillary attraction is a natural phenomenon. Lotty Clarke, flaxenhaired, I saw at her night toilette through illclosed curtains, with poor papa's operaglasses. The wanton ate grass wildly. She rolled downhill at Rialto Bridge to tempt me with her flow of animal spirits. She climbed their crooked tree and I. A saint couldn't resist it. The demon possessed me. Besides, who saw?"

or he was neverdone seeing what you coolpigeons know,

seen doing... done seeing

your... you

stool pigeons

weep the clouds aboon for smiledown witnesses,

with

Hebrews 12:1: 'compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses'

"Clouds of Witness" was a 1926 Dorothy Sayers detective novel [wiki]

(how could the clouds witness him NOT doing anything?)


and that'll do now about the fairyhees and the frailyshees.

that will do = please no more [def]

he/she
fair/frail?
fairies

Anglo-Irish shee: fairy (from Irish sídhe)
but why heEs? heels?

is 'fraily' a (multilingual?) pun?
frail-ish?

ie, no more gossip about his sins with boys and girls
