An insult, Shakespeare style.

From the Shakespeare's Insults calendar:

Thy mother took into her
blameful bed
Some stern untutored churl, and
noble stock
Was graft with crab-tree slip*,
whose fruit thou art...
(The Second Part of King Henry the Sixth 3.2.212-214.)

*cutting

Suffolk to another lord of the court, Warwick
