Usage examples for bawl:

• I remember wriggling myself off my mother's knee when I wanted change, and how she gave me her watch to keep me quiet, and stroked my curls, and called me her fair- haired knight, and her little Bayard; though, remembering also, how lingeringly I used just not to do her bidding, ate the sugar when she wasn't looking, tried to bawl myself into fits, kicked the nurse- girl's shins, and dared not go upstairs by myself after dark- I must confess that a young chimpanzee would have as good claims as I had to represent that model of self- conquest and true chivalry, " the Knight without fear and without reproach." - "Melchior's Dream and Other Tales", Juliana Horatia Ewing.
• Earnestness is mixed up in their minds with bawling and sweating; and indeed it is quite true that most people who are willing to bawl and sweat in public, feel earnestly about the subjects to which they thus address themselves. - "Joyous Gard", Arthur Christopher Benson.
