The "So doth hates potatoes?" quote confused me because there's no pronoun (doth is a verb)

It should be more like "So thou hatest potatoes" or something

Doth thou hate potaters sounds right

I'm not a linguist, and the timeline here is vague, but two things:

We're in the second-person singular, so "dost", not "doth"
Using the auxiliary verb ("do-support") is a fairly modern construct at least in written English; "hatest thou" would be more likely.
