Yellow Literature
There's dissipation in a library book, As much as in th' intoxicating bowl. Books have the power to turn the mind from truth, And give a glow to fancied scenes, they paint, Which sickens us of common life and care, And makes us seek some fancied good, That "yellow literature," which floods the world, Yes e'en the heathen world, all bookdom floods, Brings curses oft to happy families; The mistress sitting down in a slip-shod way, Leaving her home, her children, all to chance, That she may weep, absorbed o'er fancied woe, Or revel in some sinful guilty plot.
