excerpt from "the author to her book" by anne bradstreet

thou ill-formed offspring of my feeble brain,
who after birth didst by my side remain,
till snatched from thence by friends, less wise than true,
who thee abroad, exposed to public view,
made thee in rags, halting to th’ press to trudge,
where errors were not lessened (all may judge).
