Sailor's Rib

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 the sack--

A draft miraculous, precious!

Bet ere he could throw it across his back

They'd all escaped through the meshes.

Baruch de Loppis.
