Insults, Shakespeare style.

From the Shakespeare's Insults calendar:

Truly thou art damned, like an ill-
roasted egg, all on one side.
(As You Like It 3.2.35.36)

Touchstone the Fool to Corin, a shepherd; Touchstone believes Corin is damned because he has never been in court.


The common curse of mankind,
folly and ignorance, be thine in
great revenue.
(The History of Troilus and Cressida 2.3.25-27)

Thersites, a slave, to Patroclus, a Greek warrior.
