Ask for that every ten minutes. Beg. Pray for it as you never prayed before. (he thrusts out a figged fist and foul cigar) Here, kiss that. Both. Kiss. (he throws a leg astride and, pressing with horseman's knees, calls in a hard voice) .Gee up! A cockhorse to Banbury cross." (U15.2944)
From the nursey rhythme:
"Ride a cock horse to Banbury Cross,
To see a Fyne lady ride on a white horse.
With rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,
She shall have music wherever she goes."
It was first seen in print in 1784, lthough known in its current form since at least 1760.

Banbury is a town in North Oxfordshire, England. The Banbury Cross, located on a roundabout in the middle of the town, was erected in 1859 to celebrate the wedding of Prince Frederick of Prussia to his bride, the original cross having been pulled down some 250 years earlier. Banbury is also known for its Banbury Cakes (that Bloom feeds to the gulls in Lestrygonians).
"I'll ride him for the Eclipse stakes. (He bends sideways and squeezes his mount's testicles roughly, shouting.) Ho! Off we pop! I'll nurse you in proper fashion." (U15.2944)

(Stands up.) No more blow hot and cold." (U15.2963)
'Blow hot and cold' = to waver, as between extremes of opinion or emotion. The expression comes from 'The Satyr and the Traveler', a classical Aesop's fable (c. 570 b.c.). A satyr takes in a lost, freezing wanderer, but drives the man away after observing him blowing on his hands to warm them, and then later blowing on his soup to cool it.
