What is The Author to Her Book - Poetry Study Guide (LitCharts) about?

Thou ill-form’d offspring of my feeble brain,1 Who after birth didst by my side remain,2 Till snatched from thence by friends, less wise than true,3Who thee abroad, expos’d to publick view,4 Made thee in raggs, halting to th’ press to trudge,5 Where errors were not lessened (all may judg).6 At thy return my blushing was not small,7 My rambling brat (in print) should mother call,8 I cast thee by as one unft for light,9 Thy Visage was so irksome in my sight;10 Yet being mine own, at length affection would11 Thy blemishes amend, if so I could:12 I wash’d thy face, but more defects I saw,13 And rubbing off a spot, still made a faw.14 I stretched thy joynts to make thee even feet,15 Yet still thou run’st more hobling then is meet;16 In better dress to trim thee was my mind,17 But nought save home-spun Cloth, i’ th’ house I fnd.18 In this array ’mongst Vulgars mayst thou roam.19 In Criticks hands, beware thou dost not come;20 And take thy way where yet thou art not known,21 If for thy Father askt, say, thou hadst none:22 And for thy Mother, she alas is poor,23 Which caus’d her thus to send thee out of door.
