- 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
