Elizabethan English was Shakespeare's language and it was English so "I" was "I". Examples are too numerous to list exhaustively, but as a sample "I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent." (Macbeth), "I am a man more sinned against than sinning" (King Lear), "I am as constant as the northern star" (Julius Caesar), "I am a Jew" (Merchant of Venice).
