You mean how they speak mixes of old english with contemporary?
I still think on that creature from the Abyss that preyed upon me.
My faculties were far from lucid, but I quite clearly sensed certain emotions.
A wrenching nostalgia, a lost joy, an object of obsession, and a sincere hope to reclaim it…
Could these thoughts belong to the beast from the Abyss?
But if that were true, then perhaps it is no beast after all?
Oh, please forgive my ramblings.
It's just that, I wish to know the truth.
And no one, not even loving Elizabeth, will tell me.
Yeah it's very pleasing stuff. Wouldn't know where to find stuff like it, especially since it's not explicitly old english but mixes of it.

Shakespear wrote his original works so fucking shittily people still argue over what the actual wording is.
He's garbage. The only reason he's historically significant is because he wrote for peasants and created a fistful of new words that people liked. Don't tell a non-native speaker that dumb shit had anything worthwhile to say.

Watch Shakespeare films. Don't try to read Shakespeare - that's too hard. But he wrote to be heard, and you'll be amazed how easy to understand he is when actors speak the lines.
