What does hie mean in shakespaere language?

"Hie" is an archaic word that means "to hurry" or "to hasten." It's commonly used in Shakespeare's plays and other works of Elizabethan English.

Here are some examples of how "hie" is used:

* "Hie thee hence": This means "hurry away from here."

* "Hie you to the castle": This means "hurry to the castle."

* "Hie thee to the doctor": This means "hurry to the doctor."

While "hie" is no longer in common use, it's a good example of how Shakespeare's language differed from modern English.
