Thee and thou mean "you" in old english.
Thee and thou are both somewhat obsolete English pronouns for 'you'. e.g. # In 'Wherefore art thou, Romeo?' (meaning 'Why are you Romeo?' or 'Why are you a Montague, Romeo?'): thou is the second person singular subject case pronoun in this sentence. # In 'I Vow to Thee, My Country', I is the subject, thee is the second person singular objectcase pronoun.

"Thee" and "thou" were already on the way out in Shakespeare's day and have become less common since but can still be found particularly in prayers and other devotional literature.

"Shall I(subject) compare thee (object) to a summer's day?Thou(subject) art more lovely and more temperate."A study of the development of English usage over time shows that the grammar and usage of these forms (thou/thee) is not consistent. However, in all cases the meaning is 'you'.
