It's the second person singular form of the verb "to have", which conjugates as follows: I have, thou hast, he/she has, we have, you have, they have. This form was old-fashioned even in Shakespeare's day, being replaced by the plural form "you have", but he seems to have liked it, and used it a lot more than his contemporaries.
