It is old fashioned English, but not Old English (which is another name for Anglo-Saxon). It means "If it pleases you".

This looks like Elizabethan Era English, the language you see in Shakespeare. The word "an" means "if." "Ye" is generally used for the plural "you." Note the dropped "s" on "please," a obsolete subjunctive form that is redunant in the presence of the word "if." So the meaning would be: "If it pleases you folks."
