We read as far as "... from their last situations?" (529.14)
From last week's topic of 'fish', we have moved on to the topic of 'Virgin Mary,' reciting Joyce's version of the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary:
Joyce's version vs (Version of the original litany)
Mirror do justice, (Mirror of justice)
taper of ivory, (Tower of ivory)
heart of the conavent, (Ark of the covenant)
hoops of gold! (House of gold)
The litany is available here!
Or is this Issy talking to herself, watching her reflection in the mirror (water) as at the very beginning of the paragraph she tells herself, '... you are a viry vikid girl...'? (Why does she suddenly mention here 'Bartolo mio?' Bartolo is the doctor who has designs on marrying his beautiful ward, Rosina in Rossini's opera, Il Barbiere di Siviglia (A wonderful recording of this opera can be watched here!) Most probably Issy is talking here of the apostel Bartholomew and not of Dr. Bartolo of the above opera!)
McHugh also interprets this scene as Tristan returning disguised to Cornwall to meet Isolde. There you go!
