The answer is 2.

  Upon hearing the idea of marrying Eileen, in the future, Stephen hids under the table, indicating that he doesn't share of the same opinion. In efforts to make him change his mind and join them, his mother, indirectly, suggests that he apologise, and, to reinforce, Dante adds another threat. The rhymes sound impress on Stephen that has quite a dilemma, which reflects his personal experience.
