From ''The Tempest''

    Ferdinand:
 +
    Full fathom five thy father lies;
 +
    Of his bones are coral made;
 +
    Those are pearls that were his eyes:
 +
    Nothing of him that doth fade
 +
    But doth suffer a sea-change
 +
    Into something rich and strange.
 +
    Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell
 +
    ''I.ii The island. Before PROSPERO'S cell.''
