Shakespeare actually used nice in several different senses:
These are complements, these are humours, these betraie nice wenches that would be betraied without these. Love's Labor's Lost [wanton]
And he that stands vpon a slipp'ry place, Makes nice of no vilde hold to stay him vp. John III [to display reserve]
That policie may either last so long, Or feede vpon such nice and waterish diet. Othello [thin]
The Letter was not nice, but full of charge, Of deare import, and the neglecting it May do much danger. Romeo & Juliet [trivial]
To set so rich a mayne On the nice hazard of one doubtfull houre, It were not good. Henry IV [critical]
Ile proue it on his body if he dare, Despight his nice fence, and his actiue practise. Much Ado.. [carefully accurate]
We will enjoy That *nice-preserued honesty of yours. Titus..
stupid/foolish > wanton/lascivious > extravagant > elegant > strange > slothful > unmanly > luxurious > modest > slight > precise > thin > shy > discriminating > dainty > pleasant and agreeable
"You scold me so much in a nice long letter.. which I have received from you." - Jane Austen
(what do you suppose she meant?)
