Thou knoweth...

Should be "knowest".

Thinketh thee that...

Should be "Thinkest thou".

Would thee carry...

Should be "Wouldst thou".

Also,

in your wallet

"in thy wallet"

and you may soon find your opportunity

"and thou mayst soon find thy opportunity"

What would you do

"What wouldst thou do"
