Usage:
--
To Beseech
,
Entreat
,
Solicit
,
Implore
,
Supplicate
.
These
words
agree
in
marking
that
sense
of
want
which
leads
men
to
beg
some
favor
.
To
solicit
is
to
make
a
request
,
with
some
degree
of
earnestness
and
repetition
,
of
one
whom
we
address
as
a
superior
.
To
entreat
implies
greater
urgency
,
usually
enforced
by
adducing
reasons
or
arguments
.
To
beseech
is
still
stronger
,
and
belongs
rather
to
the
language
of
poetry
and
imagination
.
To
implore
denotes
increased
fervor
of
entreaty
,
as
addressed
either
to
equals
or
superiors
.
To
supplicate
expresses
the
extreme
of
entreaty
,
and
usually
implies
a
state
of
deep
humiliation
.
Thus
,
a
captive
supplicates
a
conqueror
to
spare
his
life
.
Men
solicit
by
virtue
of
their
interest
with
another
;
they
entreat
in
the
use
of
reasoning
and
strong
representations
;
they
beseech
with
importunate
earnestness
;
they
implore
from
a
sense
of
overwhelming
distress
;
they
supplicate
with
a
feeling
of
the
most
absolute
inferiority
and
dependence
.
