23d My last one unless I've got something wrong.Help!!!

Micro-king's mollusc fished-up by 17 (with porridge to follow) (5)

If it's your last one you must have some crossing letters.

Yes,I've got M-r-x but I think the M might be wrong.

murex is a gastropod

And you can make snail porridge.

Although I've got it, I must confess that I can't see what is has to do with 17.

Verse xiii of 'Popularity' by 17:

Hobbs hints blue,---Straight he turtle eats:
Nobbs prints blue,---claret crowns his cup:
Nokes outdares Stokes in azure feats,---
Both gorge. Who fished the murex up?
What porridge had John Keats?

Thanks Mrs T. - what was he on?
