The judges had already dismounted and the horsemen of the various tribes were preparing to return home, when Shidoub began to cry out with a loud voice, "Tribes of Abs, of Adnan, of Fazarah and of Dibyan, and all here present attend to me for an instant, and listen to words which shall be repeated from generation to generation." All the warriors stood motionless.
Of the faults of Sheridan both in his witty and serious styles the occasional effort of the one, and the too frequent false finery of the other some examples may be cited from the dialogue of this play. Among the former kind is the following elaborate conceit: "Falk. Has Lydia changed her mind? I should have thought her duty and inclination would now have pointed to the same object. "Abs.
But I learned my letters in a few days, standing at Aunt Hannah's knee while she pointed them out in the spelling-book with a pin, skipping over the "a b abs" into words of one and two syllables, thence taking a flying leap into the New Testament, in which there is concurrent family testimony that I was reading at the age of two years and a half.
"Hebron herself entices him," said the nomarch of Horti. "All women entice men," answered the nomarch of Emsuch. "Sense, however, is given a man to avoid sin."

We all know that every one had a beautiful grandmother one at least; and if a portrait of one grandmother belies the fact, then there is the other one to fall back upon, of whom, unfortunately, no portrait exists, and she was abs so lute lee lovely!
The expedition was wholly successful; the Joheina accepted the Prophet's yoke without opposition, and their lead was followed later in the year by the Beni Abs Murra and the Beni Dzobian, and finally the Beni Suleim, whose enmity in conjunction with the Beni Ghatafan had done much to prolong the siege of Medina. The Prophet was exultant.
The racers started like flashes of lightning which dazzle the sight and seemed like the wind when, as it blows, it increases in fury. Ghabra passed ahead of Dahir and distanced him. "Now you are lost, my brother of the tribe of Abs," cried the Fazarean groom to the Absian, "try and console yourself for this defeat."
