Your thee is indeed correct, but “I shalt” isn’t and should be “I shall”.
(“I shalt deliver thee” ~ “Minä viet/toimitat sinut”)
Just thought I’d add those thees and thys for future reference, since a lot of people have trouble with them. As a side note, I would perhaps replace “with most haste” with “with utmost haste”. Or what BP#3968 said.
@Pencils
In this case, shall would be correct. Shalt is a second person form, nowadays known mainly for the Ten Commandments; “Thou shalt not kill” etc.
And since we’ve got the ball rolling, thou is the basic form of ye olde you,thee is the object form (sinut, sinua, sinulle/teidät, teitä, teille) and thy/thine is the possessive – the same as your/yours in modern English, for the most part.

I’m pretty sure I caught a couple of thous that should’ve been thees in Hearthbreakers.
@Pencils
There’s nothing wrong with Igneous’s Old English. Just crib a few lines from Shakespeare or whatever other 16th-or-so century works you can Google and you’ll be fine.

Instead of whining, please give recommendation of the proper writing so I can fix it.
I am still just a Finnish artist, not even native speaker.
Anon: Rainy day games? Well there’s Go Fish. Trouble. Mudwrestling Rarity. Connect Four.
Spike: Wait, what?
Anon: I said “Time to do the dishes and laundry.”
“Fun Rainy Day Games? Did you ever play ‘Lock the dragon in the basement while we rut every female pony in a five-mile radius?’ It’s a game I just thought up.”
What’s with you?

Nah man, they’re just average idiots like me!
You’d think the writers of the show would be well-informed about stuff like this…
Well, if that’s so, isn’t my use of Three correct here?

Didn’t you know? It’s easier to whine and bitch than be constructive. That’s how un-creative people compensate.

Edited because: additional lines.
To be fair, his Ye Olde Englishe is no more Butcherede in this comic than in the show…
Go cry about it on Tumblr
Again, I deplore this artist’s insulting portrayal of Igneous.
Not getting reported to the ponelice.

Spike: Wait, what?
Anon: I said “Time to do the dishes and laundry.”
“oh great! can I play with you?”
“I was thinking exactly the same.”
You rut every mare in a five mile radius. I thought it was obvious.
Sounds like fun. But, how do you win?
hide the sausage.
Tsundere horse’s romantical advances.
Spin the bottle.
Play doctor.
Twister.
Hide and seek.
It happens, man. It happens…
