And shews his hard teeth! Strangers, ware, he grips!

Then comes an old friend of the Master’s—hark!

With frolic round and round, the joyous bark!

So with the whole tribe; whether in a glow

Of love they lick their pups; or to and fro

Roll them—mimic rage—and bare, as to glut

Cannibal hunger, teeth in jaws half shut.

All who know but a little of the kind,

And listen to the scolding match, will find

Worlds of difference from the doleful bay
