He was born in April, 1564, according to Wikipedia.
Hope this helps. |

Don't you have to move like one forward.. I'm very sure it's the 16th century.

You might also want to note that Shakespeare wrote in Elizabethan English, not Middle English - Middle English is closer to German and is the language Chaucer wrote in.
