The earliest citation of the full 'be still, my beating heart' comes from William Mountfort's Zelmane, 1705: "Ha! hold my Brain; be still my beating Heart."
People continuously refer to him, quote from him, talk about the characters in his plays and perform and watch his plays or other scripts consciously based on what he wrote. His influence on the way we talk and are entertained is huge, and not getting any smaller.
The ideas current at the time located the seat of emotions in various bodily organs: courage in the liver, passion in the heart and so on. Ideas of this kind are still used today.
Nowadays few people still believe the old legend that Shakespeare was a poacher.
Since Shakespeare wrote about 400 years ago, his works are in public domain. Usually after 50 or 100 years (depending on local law) a work passes into public domain at which point it can be freely traded. This is why dirt-cheap copies of Shakespeare's plays and other older pieces are available, while still-copyrighted material can cost $15 for a paperback. So no, Shakespeare isn't copyrighted - feel free to quote as much as you want! But enough unnecessary dorkiness. Basically, public domain stipulates that his works are available to anyone for any purpose.

It means that the patient is in a coma or unconscious. If the heart is not beating then the person might have past away. :(
No. Once the heart stops beating, blood pressure drops rapidly to zero.
Yes they take out the heart when the frog is still alive.
You heart beating lets you know you are still alive. The heart pumps blood throughout your body. When it stops working, so do you (without external intervention). The regular beating of the heart beat maintained by electrical impulses form the heart pacemaker, which is located in the wall of the right atrium.

Once the heart muscle stops beating, it starts to decompose very quickly. A person can be clinically dead, but still have a beating heart. Sometimes hearts are kept beating after death to sae them for transplant surgeries.
See, when you exercise you get your heart pounding and beating really fast so when you stop to take a break your heart is still beating fast
smack them and see if they respond
No, your heart is still beating. When air rushes to your voice box, it causes you to gasp for air (hiccuping).
MIDCAB the heart is still beating while in PACAB the heart is stopped
Before 2000 it was speculated that if a Heart was still beating and you administered CPR you could put the heart out of it's natural rhythm and cause it to stop. However since 2000 it is advised that if someone is unconscious and not breathing CPR should be administered regardless of if the heart is beating or not. The Chest Compressions in the Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation may put strain on the heart but its natural sinus Rhythm shouldn't be interrupted.
Given that you are still alive (dead people do not post questions on this site) your heart is still beating, whether you can feel it or not. I will add that if you feel your neck, just next to your wind-pipe, you should be able to feel the pulse in your carotid artery. But even if you can't, that is still OK. Your heart is beating.
