There is an excellent recording by the linguist Jespersen of how he imagined Shakespeare's Elizabethan English might have sounded, and it's a lot closer to John Wayne than to Hugh Grant.
In Elizabeth's English spelling was more phonetic than it is now, and so we know that Shakespeare's name could have been pronounced Shapper because it has been spelled that way - and other ways, too, of course. And the name Paul was pronounced and sometimes spelled Powl. Raghly, Raleigh, it's all the same. The combination er was pronounced like ar, and the R was not dropped, but the final G of the present participle was never pronounced. So the phrase teaching certain knowledge would have sounded something like TAY-chin SAR-tane ken-NO-ledge.
In Royal Shakespeare productions, they nod, at least, to this: principles all speak with the clipped tight lips of a bloodless, poncy BBC accent utterly unknown in Shakespeare's time, but the comic characters and servants tend to speak with one of the earthy, regional English accents, full of the broad vowels and American-sounding Rs that he knew so well.
