Got this one from an old book. “Thou art bold of tongue for one so thin of wit.”

My favorite:

"Meet me beyond these walls, and we shall speak further with action."

Hi, Jana.

Do you have any tips for us to write Shakespearean sort of dialogue? like the fancy way some fantasy characters phrase their sentences? thanks for all the help:)))

Hi :)

This is unfortunately not my native language, so I won't even try to sound fancy and different in it. And I haven't read Shakespeare in English in a long time, so I'm really no help, I'm sorry.

But if someone else is more of an expert on this, don't hesitate to chime in :)

What is the proper use of thee, thy, and thou?

if Shakespeare wrote ‘let it go’

‘Alloweth t wend’

The snoweth glows white on the mountain tonight not a footprint to beest seen a kingdom of isolation and t looks liketh i'm the queen

the windeth is howling liketh this swirling st'rm inside couldn't keepeth t in, heaven knoweth i've hath tried alloweth not those folk in, alloweth not those folk seeth beest the valorous wench thee at each moment has't to beest conceal, feeleth not, alloweth not those folk knoweth well, anon those gents knoweth

alloweth t wend, alloweth t wend can't holdeth t backeth anym're alloweth t wend, alloweth t wend turneth hence and slam the doth'r i careth not what those gents're going to sayeth alloweth the st'rm rage on the bitter cold nev'r both'r'd me concluded, be it

alloweth t wend, alloweth t wend can't holdeth t backeth anym're alloweth t wend, alloweth t wend turneth hence and slam the doth'r

alloweth t wend (go, wend, wend wend, wend wend, wend wend, wend, wend, wend wend)

alloweth t wend

alloweth t wend

alloweth t wend

t's comical how some distance maketh ev'rything seemeth bawbling and the fears yond once did control me can't receiveth to me at all t's timeth to seeth what i can doth to testeth the limits and breaketh through nay right, nay wrong, nay rules f'r me i'm free

alloweth t wend, alloweth t wend i am one with the windeth and sky alloweth t wend, alloweth t wend thee'll nev'r seeth me caterwauling h're i standeth and h're i stayeth alloweth the st'rm rage on

mine own pow'r flurries through the air into the did grind mine own soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all 'round and one bethought crystallizes liketh an icy fie i'm nev'r going backeth, the past is in the past

alloweth t wend the bitter cold nev'r both'r'd me concluded, be it alloweth t wend, alloweth t wend and i'll riseth liketh the breaketh of dawn alloweth t wend, alloweth t wend yond p'rfect wench is gone h're i standeth in the lighteth of day alloweth the st'rm rage on

I can't believe I've never mentioned this but?? I've started saying "mine" instead of "my" in front of words that begin with vowels. like it is in early modern english. so "mine own" instead of "my own," "mine eyes" instead of "my eyes," etc and this isn't a new thing either -- I've been doing this for months, completely subconsciously, because it just sounds right to me I guess!! (I have to make a conscious effort to Not do it) every time I do it, though, I immediately notice right afterward and hope that no one else noticed hahah
