Indeed it is English but it is far from common English. Because I am rather certain you're going to come back with "Its what tehy would say 500 years ago," that is if you look at this thread again, I'll leave you with the simple fact that no nothing Shakespeare writes uses common English. Plays were created then, not for the common classes but for the upper classes, including royalty, and that being one of the reasons he uses such language.

And while The Tragedy of Hamlet is quite a good play I would have to go with Othello as being his best, or at least one of his better plays.

I have to agree with you there, Othello was better than Hamlet imo..
