Well, that really depends on your definition of classic. There were classics already when Shakespeare was writing, and he wasn't counted as part of them because his work was, then, contemporary and unproven. In the modern day, his work is certainly considered classic by many. Those who do not consider his work to be classic may be of the somewhat snobbish school of literature which considers only the incomprehensible, the multi-cultural, or the disenfranchised to be worthy. And certainly they may be worthy, but in that school neither Shakespeare nor Science Fiction will ever get a fair hearing.

The word worthy is an adjective. In the English languague, only verbs have a past tense. Adjectives don't. So whether you are saying I am worthy, or I was worthy, or I am going to be worthy, or I should have been worthy, the word worthy does not change.
