Letter "S" » seine
«SEINE, n. A kind of net for effecting an involuntary change of environment. For fish it is made strong and coarse, but women are more easily taken with a singularly delicate fabric weighted with small, cut stones.The devil casting a seine of lace,(With precious stones 'twas weighted) Drew it into the landing place And its contents calculated.All souls of women were in that sack -- A draft miraculous, precious! But ere he could throw it across his back They'd all escaped through the meshes. --Baruch de Loppis»
