Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; to lie in cold obstruction, and to rot

The line "Ay, but to die, and go we know not where; to lie in cold obstruction, and to rot" is from William Shakespeare's play "Measure for Measure." This quote is spoken by the character Claudio, who is facing the prospect of death after being sentenced to be executed for impregnating his fiancée before they were married.
