SHAKESPEAREAN THROWS SUGGESTIONS


Thou bootless swag-bellied boil!

Thou infections toad spotted measle!

Thou rank fly-bitten codfish!

Thou goatish clay-brained barnacle!

Thou impertinent onion-eyed foot-licker!

Thou weedy rump-fed pignut!

Thou roguish milk-livered minnow!

Thou ruttish common kissing flax-wench!

Thou lumpish ill-natured malt-worm!

Thou tottering beef-witted baggage!

Thou wart-faced urchin!

Thou artless apple-john!

Thou puny elf-skinned lout!

Thou tickle-brained bug bear!
