The same as it means in David Beckham talk i.e. unchanging , loyal and true, as in the quotation from Julius Caesar, "I am as constant as the Northern Star". The modern sense of "continuous" derives from this, since an unchanging event is a continuous one.
It means the same as it does today, it means steady or all the time. it means forever and constant.

∙ 10y agoIt meant the same to Shakespeare as it does to you. "Constant" means continuous, unchanging. You know, like "I am a man of constant sorrow." or "I am tired of this constant pain in my back". It means the same in Shakespeare: "I am as constant as the Northern Star", means I don't move or change or stop. Caesar means that he has made his decision and is sticking to it.
It depends on the context really. A lover who is constant is true and faithful to his or her love and is not fickle and changing.
