Is the subjunctive always a verb?

Hello guys. I need a bit of help with the subjunctive mood here. I was reading Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream when I came across this line.

'Weele rest vs Hermia, if you thinke it good'

I was wondering if 'it' is a subjunctive. It's not really a verb though.
