The reading stopped at "Ah, fairypair!" (606.23)

These passages have to do with Kevin, of increate God the servant, . . .  a filial fearer . . . It describes in quite the circuitous manner typical of Finnegans Wake how he arose in celibate matrimony (the meaning of celibate matrimony beats me!) at matin chime and with a portable altare cum balneo (altar with a bathtub) reached/rowed to a lakelet where he built a small hut (honeybeehivehut) in which he dug a pit of the size of a seventh part of one full fathom and sat in the water meditating about baptism.

You can decipher more of these passages by reading this!
