My First Poll

I can't believe that the cube root of minus 71 has as many votes as Susan Sarandon. It's some consolation to me that "Full fathom five the east side lies" got one other vote besides my own. Who is the literary soul, if I may ask?

Me, actually -- but I didn't know where the quote came from. I just liked the sound of it.

No idea what the remaining lines are.

A prize to the first one who can answer the following question:

Everyone knows the lines from Shakespeare, "Full fathom five thy father lies, of his bones are coral made." But can anyone quote me the next three lines from the version in the poll? Honorable mention if you can name the author. (Of the line in the poll.)

Deadline for the prize is whenever I get up in the morning on Monday, since I leave for my trip on Tuesday.

Bravo for Bookrats, for recognizing the literary quality of the line!

Contest was to have been closed, because by this time tomorrow I'll be gone on my trip.
But I've decided to extended it until I return. But since this thread may be buried pages and pages deep by then, if you have the answer, post it in this thread (to establish your priority) and PM me so I know that you submitted an answer.
