It depends on what definition of "compound sentence" you use. Some of them contain horribly artificial distinctions between "compound sentences" and "complex sentences" (One source described "I am feeling hot as I am not wearing a hat" as "compound" and "I am feeling hot because I am not wearing a hat" as "complex" notwithstanding that they mean exactly the same thing and their grammar is identical)
However, the sources do tend to agree that "compound" or "complex" sentences have multiple clauses. Such sentences are common in Shakespeare. E.g. "He hath borne me on his back a thousand times and now, how abhorrent in my imagination it is." "My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent and, like a man to double business bound, I stand in pause where I shall first begin, and both neglect." "We pray you, throw to earth this unprevailing woe, and think of us as of a father, for let the world take note, you are the most immediate to our throne, and with no less nobility of love than that which dearest father bears his son do I impart toward you."
