Parlez-vous anglais?

So I was thinking, how interesting would it be to speak Early Modern English- the language of William S and his ilk.

Maybe like Macbeth : The devil damn thee black, thou cream-faced loon!
Where gott'st thou that goose look?

Or maybe like Hamlet: "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy".(Couldn't resist this one, it's a killer)

O ye of little faith, the time is nigh. The wayfarer must leave.

The lady doth protests too much, methinks.

Et tu, Brute?

Random and disjointed, yes, but that is all there is. That is all ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.
