The word "ſuck" with the character "ſ" (long s) is reminiscent of older English orthography, where the long s was used in the beginning or middle of words, while the short "s" was typically used at the end. Over time, the long s fell out of use in English, and by the early 19th century, it had mostly disappeared. The word itself, "suck," has various meanings, from the physical act of drawing something in using the mouth to colloquial uses that express disapproval. The usage of the long s in modern times could be seen as an archaic or stylistic choice.
