I'm not a linguist, but isn't that Early Modern English, not Old English?
i suspect this funny tic toc may not be historically accurate
It's not even early modern English. Shakespeare is Early Modern English, and takes more effort to understand than this does. This just uses words and phrases that have been unfashionable for one or two hundred years, and were generally posher than most people used even when they were in vogue.
