Sounds like a slightly mangled quote from 'Hamlet'. Either Hamlet or Polonius says "Get thee to a nunnery" to Ophelia. Forgive the lack of specifics, but it's been several years since I last read Hamlet, and I honestly don't remember the rest of the line, nor where in the play it is.

Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1, Hamlet to Ophelia. The phrase is: "Get thee to a nunnery". Note: nunnery was a slang term for brothel.

Shakespeare did have Hamlet say, "Get thee to a nunnery" to Ophelia. And later in the same scene he said, "To a nunnery go."
But I wasn't able to find your quote on either google or yahoo. So i suspect its a misquote.

I just did this. It is in Hamlet. Hamlet asked Ophelia (the love of his life) where her father is. She replies saying that he is at home even though she knows he is there spying on them. Hamlet also knows he is there and tell Ophelia she should go to a nunnary so she can be freed from sin.
Hope this helps.
