The First Dragon is right and the actual reference you should use is
Hamlet: Act 3, Scene i, Line 58.
You could also put it like this
Hamlet: 3.i.58

You can't reference it as a page number unless you refer to a specific book that you take it from.
I would suggest that your reference merely says "first line of Hamlet's soliloquy from Hamlet Act 3 Scene 1 by Shakespeare".

When quoting Shakespeare it is customary to say "Act a, Scene b, lines c-d," rather than quoting a page number. It's similar to quoting the Bible.

issues like stone monuments are temporal and could disintegrate in time. Even monuments to royalty won't outlive the poem Shakespeare is writing, yet his liked will stay perpetually -- a minimum of interior the "perpetually" of his ideas. which you ought to to assessment those words with Macbeth: "life's yet a adverse participant that struts and frets his hour upon the degree, after that's heard not greater." like each and all of the greats, W.S. replaced right into a complicated individual, unafraid of paradox.

the really cool thing is that shakespear is dead and has been for so long that his works are in the public domain and you don't have to give him credit.
