Answer:

She is trying to elicit his sympathy for her.

Explanation:

In her conversation with Gus Trenor, Lily Bart tried to elicit his sympathy for her by narrating the financial troubles she was facing. She narrated to him how she was coerced by Judy to marry a money bag known as Gryce to escape her financial woes. Her self-respect and integrity, however, would not allow her to yield to such an alliance. She rather resolved to go and live with her aunt Richfield.

Trenor was really moved by the story and his sympathy made him volunteer to help Lily Bart invest her money in the stock market. He was an expert in such matters and he believed he could help Lily Bart to get great gains from the investment.

As a result, he wants Peter Quince to include a ballad about his dream during the play: "I will get Peter Quince to write a ballad of this dream."
