Thou is Old English

Personal pronouns in Early Modern English
.............................Nominative.......Objective....Genitive..........Possessive
1st Person......singular.....I.................me...........my/mine...........mine
................plural.......we................us...........our...............ours

2nd Person......sing..inf....thou..............thee.........thy/thine.........thine
................plural or
................form.sing....ye................you..........your..............yours

3rd Person......singular.....he/she/it.........him/her/it...his/her/his(its)..his/hers/his(its)
................plural.......they..............them.........their/theyr.......theirs


The whole point to this all is that the PLG used the informal pronoun rather than the accustomed formal one. This indicated that she felt the communication was not a formal one. Friendlier. More personal.
