it is shakespeare King Lear, wat about:
poor naked wretches, whereso'er you are that bide the pelting of this pitiless storm, how shall your houseless heads and unfed sides, your loop'd and window'd raggedness, defend you from seasons such as these? oh, i have ta'en too little care of this. take physic, pomp: expose thyself to feel what wretches feel, that thou mayst shake the superflux to them, and show the heavens more just.

It's English. It means what it says.
If you really need some help, I replaced a few of the older words with newer ones: "Please, go in yourself, seek your own ease. The storm will not let me think about things [that] would hurt me more; but I'll go in.
In, boy, go first. You houseless poverty-
no, get you in. I'll pray, and then I'll sleep."

I believe the character is telling a young male friend to go inside to rest, but he cannot as he is consumed by some problem that he cannot resolve at this time. He once again urges him to go inside, reassuring that later he will do the same and pray, then sleep himself. Just a guess, as you did not indicate which play of Shakespeare's it was.

I pray thee, go in yourself (into the hovel), be comfortable.
The storm, being so rough, at least distracts me from my fears about those things far worse; but i will go in.

In boy, you enter first. This homeless state of mine, i hate it, it drives me to enter such a miserable place...

No, let us get it over with. I'll pray and then I'll sleep.

"It's raining outside. I should go inside and take a nap." That's what it sounds like to me.

Please go inside. Find rest and comfort. I need rest and comfort more than you, but you go first. I am going to pray; then I am going to sleep.


I think that's about what it says.
