Heh, I found it amusing . . .
I was accuality had to do this once at a festival to support the arts. My friend and I had to walk around in Elizabethan costumes and ask people if they would like to hear a sonnet or an insult. it was fun but the costume was a tad uncomfortable.
i liked this one
Hence rotten thing! Or I shall shake thy bones out of thy garments
the only problem being that some might (stupidly) take that as some kinda chatup line

A simple fuck off is quicker.
i think the one i posted:
'Hence rotten thing! Or I shall shake thy bones out of thy garments'
translates as:
'fuck off!!! - before i kick the crap out of ya!'
'Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age? Have you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard, a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken, your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every part about you blasted with antiquity? And will you yet call yourself young?'
Translated:
Bob The Shrek, you lying fat bastard, you are 44 not 21.
Curse thee, thou pernicious weasel!
My grandmother gave me one of those fridge magnet games with lots of Shakespearean insults cut up so you can make new ones. I had a lot of fun with that until I got bored with it :-)
