Would it be correct to say,

"Well then, I shall be on with it, now shalt I".

  • "I shalt" or "shalt I" is never correct. Shalt is only for the second person singular. Besides that, shalt is extremely old-fashioned. Don't use it unless you are trying to talk like a seventeenth-century Bible. – stangdon Dec 02 '15 at 14:32
  • If you really need the confirmation at the end, you could use "Well then, I shall be on with it, I will". Not a usual usage, though. – user3169 Dec 02 '15 at 18:50

It's pretty old-fashioned, but sure. More modernly, you could try "Well, then, I'll get on with it."

Don't use "shalt." I don't know Early Modern English well enough to be sure if that is proper usage, but I bet it isn't, because it sounds wrong. Ending with "I shall be on with it" is perfectly fine.
