    It is archaic usage.. The verb hasten (infinitive and imperative) means to hurry; to make haste, and "thither" means "towards that place" [the place in question having been identified in a previous clause].

    hastens, means to go quickly

    thither means the far side or farther away as opposed to the nearer side.

    so you might say, hasten hither, but unlikely to say

    you might say hasten to the thither side of the pond, however
