How do you say him in Shakespearean language?

There are several ways to say "him" in Shakespearean language, depending on the context and desired level of formality. Here are some options:

Formal:

* He: This is the most common and direct way to refer to a man in Shakespearean English.

* His: Used when referring to something belonging to the man. Example: "His sword was sharp."

* Himself: Used to emphasize the man as the subject and object of the action. Example: "He hurt himself."

Informal:

* He: This is still the most common way to refer to a man, even in informal speech.

* Yond: This is an archaic way to point to someone, similar to "that". Example: "Yond man is tall."

* This same: This phrase is often used to refer to a man who is nearby. Example: "This same gentleman is brave."

More poetic:

* The lad: This is a more informal way to refer to a young man.

* The knave: This is a slightly less polite way to refer to a man, often used in a playful or mocking manner.

* The swain: This is a poetic word for a young man, often used to refer to a lover or suitor.

The best way to choose the right word depends on the specific context and desired tone.

For example, if you are writing a sonnet, you might use a more poetic word like "swain" or "knave". If you are writing a play, you might use more common phrases like "he" or "his."
