I WANT. 
by JOHN QUINCY ADAMS. 
I WANT a warm nnd faithful friend 
• < To cheer the adverse hour; 
Who ne’er to flatter will descend, 
Nor bend the kness to power. 
A friend to chide nio when I’m wrong, 
My inmost soul to see; 
And that my friendship proves n.s strong 
For him, as liis for me. 
I want a kind and tender heart, 
Forotliers wants to feel; 
A soul secure from fortune s dart, 
And, boHOin firiucd with steel. 
To bear divine chastisement’s rod, 
And mingling in my plan 
Submission to the will of God, 
Witli charity to man. 
I want a keen observing eye; 
An ever listening ear. 
The truth through all disguise to spy, 
And wisdom’s voice to hear; 
A tongue to speak at virtues need.

And lips, the cause of man to plead.
