From wine what sudden friendship springs!
'Tis thus that on the choice of friendsOur good or evil name depends.
Friendship, like love, is but a name,Unless to one you stint the flame.
Who friendship with a knave hath made,Is judg'd a partner in the trade.
An open foe may prove a curse,But a pretended friend is worse.
To friendship every burden's light.
