These words agree in the idea of acting upon the mind by some strong controlling influence ,
and differ according to the image under which is presented .
They are all used in a bad sense ,
except allure ,
which has sometimes (
though rarely )
a good one .
We are allured by the prospect or offer (
usually deceptive )
of some future good .
We are commonly enticed into evil by appeals to our passions .
We are decoyed into danger by false appearances or representations .
We are seduced when drawn aside from the path of rectitude .
What allures draws by gentle means ;
what entices leads us by promises and persuasions ;
what decoys betrays us ,
as it were ,
into a snare or net ;
what seduces deceives us by artful appeals to the passions .
