Oliver Goldsmith Quote

And what is friendship but a name,
A charm that lulls to sleep,
A shade that follows wealth or fame,
And leaves the wretch to weep?


Ch. 8, The Hermit (Edwin and Angelina), st. 19. - The Vicar of Wakefield (1766)


And what is friendship but a name, A charm that lulls to sleep, A shade that follows wealth or fame, And leaves the wretch to weep?
