THE VOICE OF JOKANAAN
Ah! the wanton! The harlot! Ah! the daughter of Babylon with her golden eyes and her gilded eyelids!—Thus saith the Lord God, Let there come up against her a multitude of men. Let the people take stones and stone her....
HERODIAS

THE VOICE OF JOKANAAN
Let the war captains pierce her with their swords, let them crush her beneath their shields.
HERODIAS
Nay, but it is infamous.
