Your question could just as easily have been "Which Shakespearean plays were written before 1603" unless the date 1558 (six years before Shakespeare was born) is a typo for 1598. In 1598 a very helpful book called Palladis Tamia was printed which listed the Shakespeare plays known at that time: Two Gentlemen of Verona, Comedy of Errors, Love's Labours Lost, Love Labours Won, Midsummer's Night Dream, Merchant of Venice, Richard II, Richard III, Henry the IV, King John, Titus Andronicus, and Romeo and Juliet. We must also add to that list the three parts of Henry VI which were by then already in print. Between then and the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603 he wrote his golden comedies: As You Like It, Twelfth Night, and Much Ado about Nothing, as well as Henry V, Julius Caesar and Hamlet. Maybe The Merry Wives of Windsor. Maybe All's Well that Ends Well. Probably Troilus and Cressida as well.

The line "To be or not to be..." is from Hamlet. Dating of Shakespeare's plays is an uncertain science but most scholars consider it was written sometime between 1598 and 1603. Shakespeare was born in 1564 so he would have been aged 36 to 39 when Hamlet was written.

During Shakespearean times, Queen Elizabeth I reigned from 1558 until her death in 1603. After her, King James I took the throne, ruling from 1603 until 1625. Shakespeare's works were produced primarily during these two monarchs' reigns, with many plays being performed for their courts. Elizabeth's patronage and James's interest in the arts significantly influenced the theatrical landscape of the era.
