King Lear - William Shakespeare
KENT (2.2.13-29 or thereabouts, depends on edition)
A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a
base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited,
hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a
lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson,
glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue;
one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a
bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but
the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar,
and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I
will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest
the least syllable of thy addition.
Modern:
A boy; a tease; a low-life eating scraps; a vile, prominent, petty, beggarly, poor, skinny, lewd, and, wool stocking wearing boy; a coward, action-taking boy, a SOB, vain, overly officious finical scoundrel; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that would be a prostitute, in way of good service, and you are nothing but the arrangement of a boy, vagabond, chicken, a pimp, and the son and heir of a crossbreed bitch: one who I will beat into a loud whiner, if you deny your obsession.
