It was only when  re-reading my last post after I had sent it that I noticed
just  how much of an ADDITIONAL  interesting and informative sentence the
following is
for the analysis and demonstration of  the false  Heideggerian point of
view:

"That you your self  being extant well might show,"

Obviously had Shakespeare wanted to have talked 'Heidy-speak' he could have
easily elided the word 'extant'
Thus:

"That you your self being well might show,"

The fact that Shakespeare considered it necessary to include the adjective
of existence 'extant' after 'being' demonstrates that he couldn't have
considered 'being' as a verb of existence,  but rather a mechanism which
introduces an existential state.
He instinctively realised that without the marker of existence: 'extant' the
processant 'being' would attach itself to the word 'well'  and use that as
its existential modalic bequest upon 'you'  thereby altering the whole
import of the sentence from the subject you 'still being alive' to that of
merely being 'in good health.'  :-)
