O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name. Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.

Oh, Romeo, Romeo, why do you have to be Romeo? Forget about your father and change your name. Or else, if you won’t change your name, just swear you love me and I’ll stop being a Capulet.
Poмeo, o зaчeм жe ты Poмeo! Пoкинь oтцa и oтpeкиcь нaвeки Oт имeни poднoгo, a нe хoчeшь - Taк пoкляниcь, чтo любишь ты мeня, - И бoльшe я нe бyдy Кaпyлeтти.

You're comparing literary English written by a genius to trash you thought of in like 5 seconds.
Compare the Shakespeare passage to something by Thomas Pynchon or Cormac McCarthy if you want to see the modern-day peak of the English language.
>When Shakespeare was writing, the English language was going through an immense period of growth, and this is reflected in the number of new words first recorded in Shakespeare's work. This number has reduced over the years and researchers now believe that just over 1,000 new words were first recorded in his plays.
