Question

“Thou ill-form’d 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, expos’d to public view”

It also helps to emphasize the key ideas in the poem, such as the poet's insecurity about her work and her friends' lack of judgment.
