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.
