Line 18: 'Distrain" (it was a bit hard to work out the "t": From an OED definition from around 1770- "To levy a distress. Const. for (a thing). Originally in order to compel the defaulter, by detention of the thing seized, to pay money due or perform an obligation; but in later use including the power to obtain satisfaction by sale of the chattels." I could not easily find this in the usual free on line sources.
