Implied

Subjection, but requir'd with gentle sway,

And by her yielded, by him best receiv'd,—

Yielded with coy submission, modest pride,

And sweet, reluctant, amorous delay.

John Milton (1608-1674): Paradise Lost. Book iv. Line 307.

The good he scorn'd

Stalk'd off reluctant, like an ill-used ghost,

Not to return; or if it did, in visits

Like those of angels, short and far between.

Robert Blair (1699-1747): The Grave. Part ii. Line 586.
