OP here. The last sentence is ' Finn, again! Take. Bussoftlhee, mememormee! Till thous-endsthee. Lps. The keys to. Given! A way a lone a last a loved a long the ' and the first sentence is 'riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodious vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.'

That should clear things up for you. I highly recommend not picking up the paperback and reading the entire book on genius annotations to get additional context.

A wake is to wake from sleep or a funeral wake. Finnegan is an overall term for the Irish people; it's a quadruple entendre, Joyce is warning that the Irish need to wake up as a culture

Joyce's diagnosis of Irish culture (lived in Dublin all my life) back in the early 1900's is still just as accurate today; and alcoholism is not just a stereotypical cliche; most irish people are entrenched in some form of escapism with no real self awareness of their situation.
