MONEY AND A FRIEND by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I ONCE HAD MONEY AND A FRIEND
Last Line: NOW WAS THAT NOT A WRONG?

I ONCE HAD money and a friend;
Of either, thought I store.
I lent my money to my friend
And took his word therefor.
I sought my money from my friend,
Which I had wanted long.
I lost my money and my friend;
Now was that not a wrong?
