   While Shakespeare didn't use "jawbone" as a verb, he did employ other   
   words to convey forceful persuasion:   
      
   Harangue:        This word, meaning a long, angry speech, appears in   
   several plays like Henry V.   
      
   Rate:   Meaning to scold or berate,    this is used in plays like Julius   
   Caesar.   
      
   Bully:     While the meaning has softened over time, in Shakespeare's   
   era it could mean to intimidate. This can be seen in The Taming of the   
   Shrew.
