'Robes and furr'd gowns hide all'

Thorough tatter'd clothes great vices do appear:
Robes and furr'd gowns hide all. Plate sins with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks:
Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw doth pierce it.

William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

from King Lear (Folio text) IV v (c. 1605)
