For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When you have shuffled off this mortal coil Must give us pause Hamlet William Shakespeare?

In Act III Scene I of Shakespeare’s play Hamlet, Prince Hamlet says: “ To die - to sleep - / No more; and by a sleep to say we end / The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks / That flesh is heir to. ‘Tis a consummation / Devoutly to be wished. To die - to sleep. / To sleep - perchance to dream. Ay, there’s the rub, / For in that sleep of death what dreams may come / When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, / Must give us pause”
