What does Shakespeare mean by the word Haps?

In: China in WW2, Seals and Sea Lions, William Shakespeare [Edit categories]

Answer:

"Hap" is the word "Happen". Shakespeare used both although "hap" was on the way out, because sometimes it was what he needed for his rhyme scheme. Something the same happened (or happed) with the verb "to ope" which we would now only recognize as "to open"
