Say not my art is fraud -- all live by seeming. / The beggar begs with it, and the gay courtier / Gains land and title, rank and rule, by seeming; / The clergy scorn it not, and the bold soldier / Will eke with it his service. / -- All admit it, / All practise it; and he who is content / With showing what he is, shall have small credit / In church, or camp, or state -- So wags the world. / - Old Play
