Love's heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun's beams
Driving back shadows over low'ring hills.
Therefore do nimble-pinioned doves draw Love,
And therefore hath the wind-swift Cupid wings.

Romeo and Juliet. A tragedy. Now acting... by his Majesty's Servants, at the Theatre-Royal in Smock-Alley (ed. 1747)
