Gi' is a contraction for give, both in Shakespeare and also in Robert Burns who uses it a lot, most famously in the lyrics to Auld Land Syne ("And gi's a hand o' thine"). E'en is short for "even", both in the sense everyone will recognize, and also as a cut-down form of "evening", most familiar in the word "Hallowe'en". You' doesn't mean anything. It's a typo.

Waxen means made of wax. Its meaning has not changed since Shakespeare used it.
