When in doubt make up a word by adding " 'st" to a conventional word such as "fill'st my cup", and never use one word where two will do! Add "right", "well", and "most" to your speech:
"Thou dost sing most marvelous well."
"She doth wash right industrious."
"Thou art most beauteous fair."

 

"Hello" - "Good Day!" - "Good morrow!", "Well met"
