What are some of Shakespeare's insults?

Thou Art a...
-Puny fat-skinned foot licker!
-Boil-brained knotty-pated hornbeast!
-Beef witted common-kissing, simple-minded lewdster
and that's only a start. (These are not actually insults taken from Shakespeare, but are composed to sound like real Shakespearean insults.)
Some real ones are: "A knave, a rascal, an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three suited, hundred-pound, filty, 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." (King Lear 2,2) "'S blood, you starveling, you elf-skin, you dried neat's tongue, you bull's pizzle, you stock-fish! O, for breath to utter what is like thee, you tailor's yard, you sheath, you bowcase, you vile standing tuck . . ." (Henry IV Part 1 2,4) "Get you gone, you dwarf, you minimus of hindering knot-grass made, you bean, you acorn." (Midsummer Night's Dream 3,2)
