An expample of a text that uses archaic language could be Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”.
In all of his plays, stories and poems, Shakespeare used a type of English that has since been abandoned. He continuously uses old pronouns such as “thee”, “thou”, “ye” and “thine”, and other forgotten words like "wast”, “whence”, and “wherefore”.
When I started reading the play, this type of language was very confusing to me. Altough some words I could understand through context, others made it difficult for me to comprehend the whole sentence.
To correctly understand and be able to read the text with no problems, I made a list of the words I did not know, along with their meanings. As I read the text, I would turn to my list to check the words I did not remember the meaning of. After a while, I learned the vocabulary; and by the end of the play, I could read the text with no help.
