Found a fun moral panic from 1712 about beautiful poetry corrupting the Youths, and wanted to share it with everyone as a late-night treat.
"the elegance of expression and… those other bewitching beauties, which attend good poetry, might insensibly instill the Poison into the minds of unthinking people; especially of the Youth, whose imagination is generally too strong for their reason, and their fancy too powerful for their judgement."
