seeming friendship

My lord, you have lost a friend indeed; / And I dare swear you borrow not that face / Of seeming sorrow, it is sure your own.

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting / On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; / And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, / And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor

Nothing more clear unto their seeming. — Hooker.

His persuasive words, impregned / With reason, to her seeming. — Milton.
