Hurry, in Shakespearean English
Answer:
HIE
Hint:
Think of a short verb from Shakespeare’s plays that means "to go quickly," often used in commands like "Hie thee hence!
Explanation:
The clue asks for a Shakespearean word meaning "hurry," which is "hie." It’s an old-fashioned verb you might see in plays like Romeo and Juliet—think "hie thee hence!" for "go quickly!" The answer is short and fits the classic crossword style of testing archaic or literary terms.
