All that glisters is not gold.
Often have you heard that told;
 |
| Many a man his life hath sold |
But my outside to behold.
Gilded [tombs] do worms infold.
Had you been as wise as bold,
Young in limbs, in judgment old,
Your answer had not been inscroll'd.
Fare you well, your suit is cold.
The Merchant of Venice, II.vii. 65-73
Wm. Shakespeare
