^thine maidens

Unless you really meant "you maidens" instead of my assumed intent of "your maidens".

Better tell shakespeare

Nobody tells Shakespeare anything, because he doesn't care. He'll use whichever word flows best, so long as it got across the meaning. Still, fair point, I'll shut up.

You was several words depending on where it was in the sentence. Comparable to I and me in modern English. I thought thee was you in the predicate. I'll admit that I'm no expert and have no business correcting people on this topic, but attempted it anyway.
