To A Lady, Who Said It Was Sinful To Read Novels Poem by Christian Milne
To A Lady, Who Said It Was Sinful To Read Novels
To love these Books, and harmless Tea,
Has always been my foible,
Yet will I ne'er forgetful be
To read my Psalms and Bible.
Travels I like, and Hist'ry too,
Or entertaining Fiction;
Novels and Plays I'd have a few,
If sense and proper diction.
I love a natural harmless Song,
But cannot sing like HANDEL ;
Depriv'd of such resource, the tongue
Is sure employ'd--in scandal.
