This is not from Shakespeare. It's from "To My Dog Blanco."
My dear, dumb friend, low lying there,
A willing vassal at my feet,
Glad partner of my home and fare,
My shadow in the street.

My dear, dumb friend, low lying there, / A willing vassal at my feet...
This intrigued me, and I went googling for it.
It appears to come from a poem called "To my dog 'Blanco'", by J.G.
Holland. Two texts are online - apologies for the gruesome URLs:

I'm sure Holland would be pleased to be mistaken for Shakespeare!
All the best,
Matt.
