Prince of Aaragon & his choice of Casket

Prince of Aaragon, unwisely choses the sliver casket. In the silver casket, there was the smiling face of an idiot with a scroll that read:
 
"The fire seven times tried this:
Seven times tried that judgment is,
That did never choose amiss.
Some there be that shadows kiss;
Such have but a shadow's bliss:
There be fools alive, I wis,
Silver'd o'er; and so was this.
Take what wife you will to bed,
I will ever be your head:
So be gone: you are sped."
