I am not sure what your primary language is, or may be - but you may have heard of the usage of something called "Iambic Pentameter".
Every line in all of Shakespeare's work was written in that form. Line to line, verse to verse, scene to scene, and Act to Act. This suggests that at times he may have had to compromise his usage of good grammar simply to stay consistent with the use of this poetic style of writing. After all - to write an entire play in which every line of text falls into that style is not easy - especially when you are alternating between various speakers.
Further - it is especially foolish to suggest that Shakespeare compromises the usage of grammar. His plays were written before grammar was properly codified and defined. Indeed - there are copies of English "Grammar" books of style that appear over 200 years after him that insist that good writers spell words such as "color" as "Colour" - of course, this is still accepted in the British spelling, as well as most of the world that uses English; but it is incorrect in terms of what is "good grammar" in America.
Even today the world can't seem to decide what is "Correct Grammar" and spelling - and less then 20 years ago "email" was not a correct word, nor did it exist in a dictionary.
So you know, Iambic Pentameter is not a very easy form to master as a writer - and while it may not flow well with the current "correct definition" of our grammar usage - it was written at a time when such bold definitions were not properly codified very well, and - as stated in any case - his chief concern was with the poetry, not the trivium of writing in a style that is comfortable with the necessities of our current styles - fickle and changing as they are.
I took the liberty of copying and pasting the definition of Iambic Pentameter here, in case someone reading this was curious to know what it meant.
To make things easy I avoided the Oxford English Dictionary and went straight to "Wikipedia" so everyone can be happy with the information.
Iambic pentameter (from Greek: ἰαμβικός πεντάμετρος meaning to have five iambs) is a commonly used metrical line in traditional verse and verse drama. The term describes the particular rhythm that the words establish in that line. That rhythm is measured in small groups of syllables; these small groups of syllables are called "feet". The word "iambic" describes the type of foot that is used (in English, an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable). The word "pentameter" indicates that a line has five of these "feet."
These terms originally applied to the quantitative meter of classical poetry. They were adopted to describe the equivalent meters in English accentual-syllabic verse. Different languages express rhythm in different ways. In Ancient Greek and Latin, the rhythm is created through the alternation of short and long syllables. In English, the rhythm is created through the use of stress, alternating between unstressed and stressed syllables. An English unstressed syllable is equivalent to a classical short syllable, while an English stressed syllable is equivalent to a classical long syllable. When a pair of syllables is arranged as a short followed by a long, or an unstressed followed by a stressed, pattern, that foot is said to be "iambic". The English word "trapeze" is an example of an iambic pair of syllables, since the word is made up of two syllables ("tra—peze") and is pronounced with the stress on the second syllable ("tra—PEZE", rather than "TRA—peze"). Iambic pentameter is a line made up of five such pairs of short/long, or unstressed/stressed, syllables.
Iambic rhythms come relatively naturally in English. Iambic pentameter is the most common meter in English poetry; it is used in many of the major English poetic forms, including blank verse, the heroic couplet, and some of the traditional rhymed stanza forms. William Shakespeare used iambic pentameter in his plays and sonnets.
