A Sea Dirge

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;
Hark! now I hear them—
   Ding, Dong, Bell.

W. Shakespeare.
