Answer 2

Elizabethan Old English I believe is what you're looking for. Because Queen Elizabeth I (the first) was in power then. If you lookup a historical website on old english, or Linguistics (which are language scholars) on shakesperaean english, or borrow a full volume of shakespere from a big library it will tell you in the footnotes what many of the words mean if they don't mean the same as they do now. or try Googling or otherwise looking up school/teacher websites about a particular shakespeare play and it will probably shed more light onthe words you want explained.

Answer 3

i think he used old English
type no fear Shakespeare and the book that your reading and you should find this thing on that website that translates the whole book into regular speech to help you understand and you could also type in the words on a on-line dictionary Good Luck I'm reading Shakespeare right now and that website really helped me.
Hope this helped :)
