Shakespearean language is English, you know. "Mine" means "mine". It has several meanings.
First, it means something that belongs to me. E.g. "This pen is mine." To give an example from Shakespeare: "As she is mine, I may dispose of her" (Midsummer Night's Dream)
Second, it means to dig. You know, how they mine for coal?
Third, it means a place where you mine. "I would not wed her for a mine of gold." (Taming of the Shrew)
Fourth, it means an explosive device you bury, a land mine. "I will delve one yard below their mines and blow them at the moon" (Hamlet)
Finally, sometimes it means exactly the same as the word "my", but it is used when the next word begins with a vowel, like "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." (NOT Shakespeare, but the Battle Hymn of the Republic, written in 1861). This is because "my eyes" is hard to say. It is the same as when we say "an apple" instead of "a apple"
