tis在莎翁作品中是什么意思?
如
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end

After looking it up in dictionaries, I find many definitions as to tis.

1) a contraction of it is.

2) noun, plural tis. Music.

1.	the syllable for the seventh tone of a diatonic scale.

2.	(in the fixed system of solmization) the tone B.

3) –noun, plural tis.

a widely cultivated tropical plant, Cordyline terminalis, of the agave family, having narrow, leathery, often variegated leaves and yellowish, white, or reddish flowers.

4) An eastern Asian tropical shrub (Cordyline terminalis) having a terminal tuft of long narrow leaves and panicles of white, yellowish, or reddish flowers.

What it exactly means depends on the context you are reading. Hope it helps.
