أيْرٌ ككلْبِ الدارِ لمَّا جَنَى

وصار في فِعْلِ الْخَنَا ذا شَغَفْ

Like a home's guard dog when it goes astray

And takes to shameful acts with great delight,

يقُوم للطَّارِي عليه ولا

يقومُ للإلْفِ الذي قد عَرَفْ

It rises up against a passing stranger

But not against a well-known, friendly sight.
