THE SHAKESPEAREAN INSULTER

My friend William, classicist extraordinaire, sends along this link. An example:
Hence, horrible villain, or I'll spurn thine eyes like balls before me; I'll unhair thy head, Thou shalt be whipp'd with wire, and stew'd'in brine, smarting in lingering pickle.

Taken from: Antony and Cleopatra


I may just have to make this part of my daily regimen while I nurture my own reservoirs of partisan bile. . .
