(Got this idea from watching the movie Titus.)
Forsooth, a bricklayer I be not, but a doctor I surely be!
Yea, verily, Captain, I doth findeth that most highly illogical.
I cannae doeth that, Captain, for surely wouldst mine wee bairns explode!
For...what right hath...we...to interfereth in the...growth ofyonderculture? My friends and...crew, lend me thy ears for I sayeth unto thee, we can...not have...first contact with...this...culturejustyet, for 'tis surely 'gainst our most sacred law.
Hark! What light from an exploding star breaks through yonder starboard window?
Lay on McKirk.
When I was at a drama class once a bunch of people thought William Shakespear ad written Star wars!
Now why would they think such a thing? How ridiculous is that?

Elizabethan English Tips:
Old vs. New
Thou=You
Thy=Your
Thine=Yours
Ye=You (plural)
Your=Your (plural)
Yours=Yours (plural)
Verb Conjugations (present tense)
Verbs preceeded by the subjects I, We, Ye, and They remain unchanged.
Verbs preceeded by Thou are given the suffix "-est". For example:
Know=Knowest
Kill=Killest
Some irregulars:
Do=Dost
Have=Hast
Tip: Thou mayest cheat by placing "dost" in front of any verb: "dost know" "dost see" "dost lie"
Verbs preceeded by He, She, or It are given the suffix "-eth". For example:
Know=Knoweth
Kill=Killeth
Do=Doth
Have=Hath
Tip: The cheat written above applieth here, too, though I may say, it DOTH apply.
Tip: Hast and Hath are helping verb forms, as well.
(command form)
Verbs change not from new to old style when phrased as commands:
"Get thee hence, Satan," rather than "Getteth thee hence..."
Have ye a most pleasant day.
You can also add "right," "most," "passing" (which meaneth "very") or "well" before most adverbs or adjectives -- it maketh thy speech sound right fair.
It might help, too, to know that "you" is used formally as well as plurally -- thou wouldst address thy better as "you" but thy friend as "thee." (Unless thou art a Quaker -- which thou wouldst not be in Shakespeare's day as they did not yet exist.)
Also,
"An" = "If", an it please thee!
I'faith, thou speak'st aright.
To Assimilate or Not Assimilate,
Aye that is the Question!
Maketh it so!
Get ye hence away from mine very bridge!
I'faith, do please maketh known thine nature of yonder most medical of thine emergencies unto me!
Verily, the heavens themselves be the utter culmination of human exploration. Herein doth be written the accounting of the journeyings of the good ship Enterprise, which hath embarked on a voyage of five years length. The mission of this ship, and of her good captain and most brave crew doth be to discover passing strange new lands, to search for the elusive spoor of undreamt-of beasts, to enter into commerce with peoples and governments yet unknown. May God grant that we be bold as we dare the emptiness which hath ere now never seen the footfalls of a man.
Thy very physical Laws of Gaia, ma' laird, cannae I even beginn tae contemplate masterin' fae mine own needs!
