Shakespeare used Multiple Negation ! Wasn't it the Standard at that time?

Question

Twelfth Night:
I have one heart, one bosom, and one truth,
And that no woman has, nor never none
Shall mistress be it, save I alone

Answer 1

I don't know why people are responding to this on the iambic pentameter etc front. Are you not asking a question about the multiple negatives? If so, I would respond that people still use this (it isn't unknown for people never to use a purely singular negative form), wasn't he doing it for effect, don't nobody do it no more?

Answer 2

Jane: I assume you think that Shakespeare's use of the multiple negatives would not be allowed today be cause it is bad grammar. Well the dirty little secret is that double, triple, or even quadruple negatives are not bad grammar in the English language. However, in Latin double negatives will make a sentence positive, e.g. nec. . .nec. But English isn't Latin. If somebody says, "I ain't got no cash," you probably will not say to him/her, "Oh, good, can you lend me some?" Other "bad" grammer habits in English from Latin:
Do not end a sentence with a preposition. To which Churchill replied, "This is something up with which I will not put," as opposed to the much more normal sounding, "This is something I will not put up with."
Never split an infinitive. In Latin the infinitive is one word: "ire." In English the infinitive is two words: "to go." Hence the best known split infinitive in the English language is, "to boldy go where no man has been before." Star Trek.

You shape the language to satisfy the artistic demands of the rhythms and art of the entire piece.
