Seeming triumph o'er God's saints / Lasts but a little hour. Winkworth.
Seems, madam! nay, it is; I know not 15 "seems." / 'Tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, / Nor customary suits of solemn black. / Nor windy suspiration of forced breath, / No, nor the fruitful river in the eye, / Nor the dejected 'haviour of the visage, / Together with all forms, modes, shows of grief, / That can denote truly; these, indeed, seem, / For they are actions that a man can play: / But I have that within, which passeth show; / These but the trappings and the suits of woe. Ham., i. 2.
