«O generation, see ye the word of the LORD. Have I been a wilderness unto Israel? a land of darkness? wherefore say my people, We are lords; we will come no more unto thee? / Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.»
«Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way, / And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion, / Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity: / And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.»
«For at the window of my house I looked through my casement, / And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding, / Passing through the street near her corner; and he went the way to her house, / In the twilight, in the evening, in the black and dark night: / And, behold, there met him a woman with the attire of an harlot, and subtil of heart.»

«ZANZIBARI, n. An inhabitant of the Sultanate of Zanzibar, off the eastern coast of Africa. The Zanzibaris, a warlike people, are best known in this country through a threatening diplomatic incident that occurred a few years ago. The American consul at the capital occupied a dwelling that faced the sea, with a sandy beach between. Greatly to the scandal of this official's family, and against repeated remonstrances of the official himself, the people of the city persisted in using the beach for bathing. One day a woman came down to the edge of the water and was stooping to remove her attire (a pair of sandals) when the consul, incensed beyond restraint, fired a charge of bird-shot into the most conspicuous part of her person. Unfortunately for the existing _entente cordiale_ between two great nations, she was the Sultana.»
