"green eyed monster" it's hard to discuss the merits of these old and extremely influential texts. Some texts are so foundational to a language that even their mistakes have gotten imbued with beauty. In my native language, Dutch, that's the case f.i. with our equivalent of the King James bible. There are a lot of phrases in there that don't make sense because they're errors of translation. But still they carry a stately splendour for a lot of people. Perhaps that's also the case with Shakespeare. Basically by now it's beautiful because it's so much like Shakespeare. :-)
