EXTRACT FROM FRIENDSHIP.

"WHO feeks a friend, fhould come difpos'd

T'exhibit in full bloom difclos'd

The graces and the beauties That form the character he feeks, For 't is an union that befpeaks Reciprocated duties.

"Mutual attention is implied, And equal truth on either fide,

And conftantly fupported; 'Tis fenfelefs arrogance t' accufe Another of finifter views,

Our own as much distorted. "But will fincerity fuffice? It is indeed above all price,

And must be made the basis;

But ev'ry virtue of the foul
Muft conftitute the charming whole,
All fhining in their places.
"A fretful temper will divide
The closest knot that may be tied,
By carelefs fharp corrofion;
A temper paffionate and fierce
May fuddenly your joys difperfe
At one immenfe explosion.
"In vain the talkative unite
In hopes of permanent delight---

The fecret juft committed, Forgetting its important weight, They dropthrough mere defire to prate, And by themselves outwitted. "How bright foe'er the profpe&t feems, All thoughts of friendship are but dreams

If envy chance to creep in ;
An envious man, if you fucceed,
May prove a dangʼrous foe indeed,

But not a friend worth keeping. "As envy pines at good poffefs'd, So jealoufy looks forth distress'd

On good that feems approaching, And if fuccefs his fteps attend, Difcerns a rival in a friend,

And hates him for encroaching. "Hence authors of illuftrious name, Unlefs belied by common fame,

Are fadly prone to quarrel,
To deem the wit a friend difplays
A tax upon their own juft praife,

And pluck each others laurel. "A man renown'd for rapartee Will feldom fcruple to make free

With Friendship's fineft feeling, Will thruft a dagger at your breaft, And fay he wounded you in jeft, By way of balm for healing.

"Whoever

"Whoever keeps an open ear
For tattlers, will be fure to hear
The trumpet of contention;
Afpertion is the babler's trade,
To liften is to lend him aid,

And rush into difcuffion.

"A friendship that in frequent fits
Of controverfial rage emits

The fparks of difputation,
Like hand in hand infurance plates,
Moft unavoidably creates

The thought of conflagration.
"Some fickle creatures boaft a foul
True as a needle to the pole;

Their humour yet fo various, They manifeft their whole life through

The needle's deviation too,

Their love is fo precarious. "The great and small but rarely meet On terms of amity complete;

Plebeians muft furrender,
And yield fo much to nobler folk,
It is combining fire with fmoke,

Obfcurity with fplendour.
"Some are fo placid and ferene
(As Irish bogs are always green),
They fleep fecure from waking;
And are indeed a bog that bears
Your unparticipated cares

Unmov'd and without quaking.

"Courtier and patriot cannot mix Their heterogeneous politics,

Without an effervefcence Like that of falt with lemon-juice, Which does not yet like that produce A friendly coalefcence.

"Religion should extinguish ftrife, And make a calm of human life;

But riends that chance to differ On points which God has left at large, How tiercely will they meet and charge, No combatants are stiffer!

"To prove at last my main intent, Needs no expense of argument,

No cutting and contrivingT'adopt the chemift's golden dream, Seeking a real friend, we feem

With ftill lefs hope of thriving, "Sometimes the fault is all our own, Some blemish in due time made known By trefpafs or omiffion;

Sometimes occafion brings to light Our friend's defect, long hid from fight, And even from fufpicion.

"Then judge yourself, and prove your

man

As circumfpe&tly as you can;

And having made election, Beware no negligence of yours, Such as a friend but ill endures, Enfeeble his affection."
