The sharpest stings ever to snap from the tip of an English-speaking
tongue are here at hand, ready to be directed at the knaves, villains,

best 5,000 examples of Shakespeare's glorious invective, arranged by
play, in order of appearance, with helpful act and line numbers for easy
reference, along with an index of topical scorn appropriate to
particular characters and occasions.
