What is Shakespearean English
Early Modern English, also known as Shakespearean English. It is a stage of development in English during the transition from late 15th century English to mid-to-late 17th century English.
The familiar second-person pronouns "thou" (you) and "thee" (you) are commonly used. "Thy" (your) and "thine" (yours) are also prevalent.
The use of "-eth" endings for verbs (e.g., "doth" for "does") is characteristic.
The syntax in Shakespeare's writing can be less fixed than in modern English. For example, the verb often appears at the end of a sentence.
Many words used by Shakespeare have fallen out of use or changed meanings over time. For instance: "Doth" means "does", "Wert" means "were", "Oft" means "often".
