The Chandos portrait, the third most reliable portrait of Shakespeare, shows him with an earring in his left ear. No other portrait does so. If the Chandos is accurate, then yes, he did have at least one ear pierced.

∙ 10y agoThe Chandos portrait of Shakespeare shows him with an earring in his left ear. But some people have doubts about the Chandos portrait's authenticity (though not as many as the somewhat dubious Sanders portrait and the really dubious Cobbe) and he is not shown with an earring in any other portrait.

∙ 12y agoYes, Shakespeare is depicted with an ear ring in the Chandos portrait, one of the better authenticated portraits of Shakespeare.

How do you say your in shakespearean?
There is no such language as "Shakespearean". Shakespeare wrote in modern English, the same language you write in. That is why when Shakespeare wrote "Friends, Romans, Countrymen: lend me your ears", "your" was his way of saying "your". It's exactly the same as it is now.But in the dialect of modern English Shakespeare used, they made a greater use of the second person singular pronouns and verb endings than we now do. In pre-Modern English, as in most other European languages, there were different pronouns and verb endings if you were talking to one person rather than to a group. If you know French, think of the difference between "tu es" and "vous êtes". Well, in older forms of English if you were talking to a crowd (as Antony is in Julius Caesar) you would say "lend me your ears" but if you were only talking to one person you would say, "lend me thy ears". At the time Shakespeare was writing a lot of Londoners particularly were using these forms less and less even for talking to one person, so it would be "your ears" unless someone were talking very respectfully or affectionately. (People talking to pets, to lovers, to their employers or to God.) But Shakespeare was from Warwickshire and his Warwickshire English was a little old-fashioned.The word "thy" and all the other second-person singular forms are still a part of Modern English, although rarely seen outside of a religious or poetic context. However, how does Darth Vader address the Emperor? "What is thy bidding, my Master?"
