for Rome, and for my country,
And mouth at Caesar till I shake the senate.
Your cold hypocrisy's a stale device,
A worn-out trick.

Act i. 1.

=Sena'nus= (_St._), the saint who fled to the island of Scattery, and
resolved that no woman should ever step upon the isle. An angel led St.
Can'ara to the isle, but Senanus refused to admit her.--T. Moore, _Irish
Melodies_ ("St. Senanus and the Lady," 1814).

=Sen'eca= (_The Christian_), Bishop Hall, of Norwich (1574-1656).

=Sene'na= (3 _syl._), a Welsh maiden, in love with Car'adoc. She dressed
in boy's clothes, and, under the assumed name of Mervyn, became the page
of the Princess Goervyl, that she might follow her lover to America,
when Madoc colonized Caer-Madoc. Senena was promised in marriage to
another; but when the wedding day arrived and all was ready, the bride
was nowhere to be found.

Southey, _Madoc_, ii. 23 (1805).

building.--D'Herbelot, _Biblioth[`e]que Orientale_ (1697).

[Asterism] A parallel tale is told of Neim'heid (2 _syl._), who employed
four architects to build for him a palace in Ireland, and then, jealous
lest they should build one like it, or superior to it, for another
monarch, he had them all privately put to death.--O'Halloran, _History
of Ireland_.

=Sensitive= (_Lord_), a young nobleman of amorous proclivities, who
marries Sab[=i]na Rosny, a French refugee, in Padua, but leaves her,
more from recklessness than wickedness. He comes to England and pays
court to Lady Ruby, a rich young widow; but Lady Ruby knows of his
marriage to the young French girl, and so hints at it that his lordship,
who is no libertine, and has a great regard for his honor, sees that his
marriage is known, and tells Lady Ruby he will start without delay to
Padua, and bring his young wife home. This, however, was not
