1 CHAPTER 2 American Poetry Passage 1. Anne Bradstreet, The Author to Her Book Thou ill-form d offspring of my feeble brain, Who after birth did st by my side remain, Till snatcht 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). At thy return my blushing was not small, My rambling brat (in print) should mother call. I cast thee by as one unfit for light, The visage was so irksome in my sight, Yet being mine own, at length affection would Thy blemishes amend, if so I could. I washed thy face, but more defects I saw, And rubbing off a spot, still made a flaw. I stretcht thy joints to make thee even feet, Yet still thou run st more hobbling than is meet. In better dress to trim thee was my mind, But nought save home-spun cloth, i th house I find. In this array, mongst vulgars may st thou roam. In critics hands, beware thou dost not come, And take thy way where yet thou are not known. If for thy father askt, say, thou hadst none; And for thy mother, she alas is poor, Which caused her thus to send thee out of door The poem is developed mainly through (A) rhyme (B) iambic pentameter (C) simile (D) metaphor (E) conceit 17
