That’s my point.

That’s not Early Modern English. Confusingly, Earky Modern is a precursor to the language we speak today.

It’s close enough a language that we can kinda muddle through it, we can translate it and most will never realize they did more than change some spelling, but most people have still never see it performed in the original- mostly because we would be muddling through missing things

I was lucky long ago in high school. Our lit teacher forbid us to read Shakespeare outside the classroom. Instead, we read along as we listened to the RSC's recordings of the play at the same time.
