Don't make me use this: Odysseus to Thersites

From Stephen Mitchell's Iliad (2.244-248):

"But I swear to you now -- and if I don't do what I say,
may somebody come and cut my head from my shoulders --
that if I ever catch you spewing such nonsense again
I will strip you naked and whip your a** out of here
and send you back to the ships, howling and bawling."
