Any time you see a verb in Shakespeare that ends in 'd, you know that that apostrophe is replacing the letter "e". Therefore if you see whin'd, read whined; if you see lower'd, read lowered; if you see call'd, read called; if you see sham'd read shamed; if you see show'd read showed. Get the picture?
The reason for this is that sometimes people said that e and sometimes not. If they said it in a word like "whined" it would come out in two syllables: "why-ned". But if they didn't say that last e and said it all in one syllable (as everyone does nowadays) then it was spelled "whin'd"
