For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Dost thou not know that Shakespeare and King James liveth at the same time? Therefore, their proper English would be of the same bounty. Why dost thou worry whether it is Shakespeare or our beloved King James?

Oh fair knights and maidens; knowest thou not that the suffix -eth and -est is only at the end of certain verbs? Also the word "wherefore" is more in kinship to the word "Why" than it is to "Where".

The high elder tongue of English, for sooth it doth lay waste to the knavish modern tongue of the youth uncouth. For certes, of a truth, Shakespeare is not the one to lookest upon for learning the ancient art of this wordcraft. Peasants are so fond of clichés, but if you want to parlay in the tongue of high kings then peradventure thou shalt espy the knights' nobelesse fair speech as written by Sir Tomas Mallory.
