Why is act 3 scene 1 called the nunnery scene in hamlet?
Because Hamlet says to Ophelia "Get thee to a nunnery: why wouldst thou be a breeder of sinners?" It's just a convenient term to identify the scene because it's such a memorable and striking line. It could just as easily be called the "To be or not to be" scene but that's more of a mouthful.

Poem from the movie Jason's Lyric?
Come Live With Me by John Donne Come live with me, and be my love, And we will some new pleasures prove Of golden sands, and crystal brooks, With silken lines, and silver hooks. There will the river whispering run Warm'd by thy eyes, more than the sun; And there the 'enamour'd fish will stay, Begging themselves they may betray. When thou wilt swim in that live bath, Each fish, which every channel hath, Will amorously to thee swim, Gladder to catch thee, than thou him. If thou, to be so seen, be'st loth, By sun or moon, thou dark'nest both, And if myself have leave to see, I need not their light having thee. Let others freeze with angling reeds, And cut their legs with shells and weeds, Or treacherously poor fish beset, With strangling snare, or windowy net. Let coarse bold hands from slimy nest The bedded fish in banks out-wrest; Or curious traitors, sleeve-silk flies, Bewitch poor fishes' wand'ring eyes. For thee, thou need'st no such deceit, For thou thyself art thine own bait: That fish, that is not catch'd thereby, Alas, is wiser far than I.
What does art in thou art mean?
English no longer uses the second person familiar pronoun ("thou" in the nominative case), so we've also lost the proper verb conjugations that went with it."Art" is the present tense conjugation of the verb "to be" when used with "thou." I am, thou art, he/she/it is, and so forth.Modern English uses the second person plural or formal pronoun ("you") exclusively in situations where "thou" (or the dative case equivalent, "thee") would have been used in Elizabethan or Jacobian times (and even by then, it was regarded as a bit of an affectation; the King James translation of the Bible, which was as might be guessed from the name produced in the Jacobian era, deliberatedly used a style that was rather archaic even by the standards of the times).In other words, translated into modern English, "thou art" = "you are".There are a few peculiar modern dialects of English that have retained the second person familar. Sort of. But this is definitely an affectation, and many of them do it "wrong" by Jacobean standards (among other things, they tend to use "thee" even in the nominative case, and with the verbs conjugated for third person pronouns, eg "Thee is").

What verse speaks of Peter's death?
The death of Peter is not mentioned in the Bible and is known only from writings of early Church fathers and tradition. However, John 21:18 does seem to indicate the future death of Saint Peter:"Amen, amen I say to thee, when thou wast younger, thou didst gird thyself, and didst walk where thou wouldst. But when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and lead thee whither thou wouldst not."
