While a direct translation is rare, you can convey similar sentiment with exclamations such as 'Hark, a noble deed!', 'Well played!', 'Bravo!', 'All hail!', 'Most excellent!', or 'A deed most worthy of praise!'

Is it appropriate to use Shakespearean language for a modern graduation?

Aye, if done with wit and affection! It adds a unique, memorable, and often humorous touch that stands out. It demonstrates thoughtfulness and a flair for the dramatic, making the message truly special.
