Hello Fiveatan,
If you're going to use old ways of speech, at least get the grammar right. One would say, "I beg thee to slay thyself, froth of earth."
"Thy" is a possessive, as in "Thy breeches are sagging, and I behold thy undergarments."
"Thou" is used to refer to another person, as in "Thou shalt not sag."
It can refer to one person but is primarily used when referring to more than one.
"Thee" is primarily used when addressing one person, but it can be used to refer to a group. Example: "I told thee twice not to wear red." If four or five people were with me and I was giving them grief over wearing red, I could say the same thing.
It's one of the reasons why people stopped using that word and began using "you." And since we're in modern times, there's no reason why you can't use "you."
