Below: Check out how English changed from Old English to Middle English to Early Modern English (at Shakespearian times). Listen to the videos of the Lord's Prayer read in the 3 distinct eras, from left to right. This makes Shakespeare's language sound much more familiar than the other two! His English isn't as "old-fashioned" as you thought.
