Shakespearean language is English, and "wife" in English is "wife". The idea that Shakespeare wrote in a foreign language is as ridiculous as thinking that Australians or rap artists speak a foreign language. Uses of "wife" in Shakespeare include "what tongue shall smooth thy name when I, thy three-hours wife, have mangled it." (Romeo and Juliet), "if once a widow, ever shall be a wife" (Hamlet), "If I be no more, Portia is Brutus' plaything, not his wife." (Julius Caesar)
