Would Shakespeare have pronounced the word “Troubled as Trouble.led?”?
Yes, Guy, he probably would have. In the 16th century, words were pronounced more phonetically. I imagine that many people wouldn’t understand Shakespeare’s writings if they heard them spoken in the style of the time. Come to think of it, many probably don’t understand them in today’s terms. This day that brayacks has brocht (think of the ch as in Welsh or German pronunciation) mora snow. And forsooth to worrk I go My heyart it feelss most trowb-led To drag myself from my nisa warrm bed Well, something like that.
