Who said why dost thou wring thy hands in Romeo and Juliet?
Juliet
How do you reword How art thou out of breath when thou hast breath To say to me that thou art out of breath The excuse that thou dost make in this dela?
Why in the world would you want to reword it? It's perfect as it is. Unless perhaps you haven't caught on to the "thou art" and "thou hast" and "thou dost" usage. Back in Shakespeare's day, that was how you talked to your good friends, your lover, your childhood nurse, your pets and your servants. To others you would say "you are", "you have" and "you do".
How was the word fickle used in romeo and juliet?
Juliet says in Act 3 Scene 5: "O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle: If thou art fickle, what dost thou with him. That is renown'd for faith? Be fickle, fortune; For then, I hope, thou wilt not keep him long, But send him back." Fickle meant the same then as it does now--changing and uncertain.

What does dost mean in Shakespearean writing?
Dost is a form of the verb to do, as "I do", "Thou dost", "He does". The "thou" forms of verbs are rarely seen any more, and "thou dost" would usually be said "you do" So, 'if thou dost pronounce it faithfully' means 'if you do mean what you say'
What is the meaning of 'what dost though'?
What does "What dost thou" mean is the correct question. The previous answer given was right: it means "What do you ... ?" In olden times, "you" was the polite form and "thou" was the familiar form (today we sometimes think of them backwards from what they were) and "dost" was a form in olden times similar to the form we still use today, "does." "What dost thou intend toward my daughter?" would mean "What are your intentions toward my daughter?"

What does thou have to say mean?
We need some context here. I assume you are talking about "thou have to say" which is a fragment of a sentence and means nothing unless the sentence is completed. Since the verb "have" does not agree with the pronoun "thou" (the correct form would be "hast"), we have to assume that there is some other verb in the sentence. Perhaps it was "What dost thou have to say?" but I'm just guessing.
