Is it in old english or not?

If you're asking if this is in Shakespearean verse, then yes it is.

Yes, it is in Shakespearean verse, in iambic pentameter -- a type of poetry. However, Shakespeare wrote in Early Modern English. Yes, modern English. You would not recognize or understand anything written or spoken in Old English.
