Whoa, whoa, WHOA there, doggonit.
Look again:
" ... rich, not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man."
[Hamlet act 1, sc. 3, l. 70]
As a bit of advice to a young prince travelling
abroad, I can't find anything bombastic in that. Oft
it doth, oft it dothn't -- I mean, doesn't. All
of us make inward judgements of others based
on how they look. Polonius was right.
