All Are Not Thieves that Dogs Bark At

“A long lost son seeks his lov’d home once more; / An heir of wealth, although in clothing poor: / The dogs fly at him; loud they’re barking, / Those in the house are closely heark’ning, / Robbers they say are round, they greatly fear, / But soon a son and brother’s voice they hear."—Barber, 1857
