Which shakespeare play does the phrase all that glitters is not gold come from?

Answer 1

In Shakespeare's 'Merchant of Venice'(Act 2, scene 7), the Prince of Morocco says;

"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."

Note, the word is "glisters" not "glitters". The word "glitters" does not appear in any of Shakespeare's works.
