Answer:

Consequently, Bassanio rejects the golden casket; it is a symbol for all "outward shows"; likewise, he rejects the silver casket, calling it a "common drudge / 'Tween man and man." Instead, he chooses the casket made of "meagre lead," which is the least attractive of the caskets — if they are judged by appearance alone ...

While this song is being sung, Bassanio comments to himself on the deception of appearances with certain examples:He observes the illusions of facial beauty: Look on beauty, ...Beautiful hair, too, can be illusionary. So are those crisped [curled] snaky golden locks, ...Therefore, superficial beauty is often treacherous.

Explanation:

No, Bassanio was not fully a fortune seeker. He was really in love with Portia . ... Although I also believe that his act of choosing the right casket was just his cleverness , but his love for Portia is shown properly by Shakespeare.
