    "a toy"

    "not permanent"

    "not lasting"

    Explanation:

    In the passage from Shakespeare's "Hamlet," Laertes warns his sister Ophelia against Hamlet's amorous advances. In that respect, he makes use of the word trifling, which means unimportant o trivial, to refer to Hamlet's courtship towards Ophelia. In fact, he claims that Hamlet is acting as a passionate young man and that his flirting or toy is temporary and meaningless.
