in
The Iliad by Homer - (translated by: Pope)
- Now fears dissuade him, and now hopes invite.†
Book 8 *dissuade = persuade someone not to do something
- When from Pelides' tent you forced the maid, I first opposed, and faithful, durst dissuade; But bold of soul, when headlong fury fired, You wronged the man, by men and gods admired: Now seek some means his fatal wrath to end, With prayers to move him, or with gifts to bend.†
