that is a question:
  Whether ‘tis nobler in the mind to

suffer
  The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
  Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,  
   And by opposing, end of them? To die-, to sleep,
 No more, and, by a sleep to say we end
 The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
 That flesh in heir to; ‘tis a consummation
 Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, to sleep-
 To sleep, perchance to dream…

Быть или не быть- таков вопрос;
Что благородней думам- покоряться
Пращам и стрелам яростной судьбы
Иль, ополчась на море смут, сразить их
Противоборством? Умереть, уснуть -
И только и сказать, что сном кончаешь
Тоску и тысячу природных мук
Наследье плоти,- как такой развязки
Не жаждать? Умереть, уснуть.-Уснуть!

house on which Shakespeare died used to be. It was a big house bought by William Shakespeare for his family when he was still in London. Here he spent the last years of his life. Unfortunately, the house was destroyed.
It’s interesting that William died on his birthday, 23 April.
