    He whistles as he goes, light-hearted wretch,
    Cold and yet cheerful; messenger of grief
    Perhaps to thousands, and of joy to some.

king's ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders
on mules, camels, and young dromedaries: . . . .

And wafts embodied though, a thousand ways:

For minds could then meet minds with heav'n between.

An exquisite invention this,
Worthy of Love's most honeyed kiss,--
This art of writing billet-doux--
In buds, and odors, and bright hues!
In saying all one feels and thinks
In clever daffodils and pinks;
In puns of tulips; and in phrases,
Charming for their truth, of daisies.
