Joyce

Kenneth G Descoteaux writes:

and at first with the charm around 
him, mmh, yes'  Does this come from Joyce or is this a reference to a line
(that I read somewhere) that goes like 'and with a charm round him thrice ...'
(Shakespeare ? Spencer?) Some sort of love charm?

It isn't from Joyce. The Joycean line is "and first I put
my arms around him". As to whether it has anything to do
with your other quotation, who knows?

You can look up the original text on the last page or
two of _Ulysses_.
