The bard's birthday today.
Instead of 'you' say 'thee' or ' thou'.
Rhymed couplets are all the rage.
Men are called 'Sirrah', women are called 'Mistress' and your friends are all called 'cousin' ( unless you're in Asia where they're called your brothers or sisters)
Instead of cursing, try calling your tormentors jackanapes, canker-blossoms or poisonous bunch- back'd toads.
Verse for lovers, prose for ruffians and songs for clowns.
When in doubt add 'eth' to all verbs: he runneth, he trippeth, he falleth.
To add weight to your opinions try starting them with 'Methinks', 'mayhaps', 'in sooth' or 'wherefore'.
When wooing ladies try comparing them to a summer's day. When that fails say 'Get thee to a nunnery'.
When wooing lads: try dressing up like a man. If that fails, throw him in the Tower, banish his friends and claim the throne.
Happy Shakespeare's Day!

I'll tickle your catastrophe? Digging up my version of SP's works: Henry IV Part 2 HOSTESS. Good people, bring a rescue or two. Thou wot, wot thou! thou wot, wot ta? Do, do, thou rogue! do, thou hemp-seed! PAGE. Away, you scullion! you rampallian! you fustilarian! I'll tickle your catastrophe.

If we substitute brine and vinegar for Jameson, do you think we could persuade are fricking' tiger to let us give it a try ?
"Hence, horrible villaine, or I'll spurne thine eyes like balls before me; I'll unhaire thy head, Thou shalt be whipt with wyer, and stew'd'in brine, smarting in lingring pickle." Antony and Cleopatra
