Even or sometimes evening. (This is a contraction that reflects a different pronunciation.)
The apostrophe tells you that one or more letters have been omitted from the word. In this case the letter is "v", as it is with the word "e'er". "E'en" does not mean "even"--"e'en" IS the word "even.

∙ 12y agoShakespeare does not use a word "e'ev"
There is no such word as "e'ev" anywhere in Shakespeare's works.
Because people ask about this non-word fairly frequently, it would appear that someone has included it in a list of standard questions about Shakespeare, which some teacher is stupidly using without having the least idea where he or she got it. If you know the origin of this standard question, please add it to this answer or contact the answerer.

He was not of age but for all time means?
Basically, he meant that Shakespeare had something which would be relevant at any time, not just in the time he wrote it. Shakespeare was not "topical" most of the time. Jonson, on the other hand, filled his plays with references to people and ideas which were well-known when he was alive but nobody knows about now, which makes Jonson's plays quite dated and hard to follow compared with Shakespeare's.
