THE TRUE FRIEND.
How oft do those we think our friends,
Prove such but for some private ends?
How hard the task a friend to find,
To whom we may impart our mind;
One who can sympathize in woe,
And share the grief our bosoms know;
When fortune frowns or smiles, the same,
To serve his friend his only aim?
Oh grant me heav'n! a friend like this,
To share my grief, and taste my bliss.
