I'm sorry, can you please provide the name of Bradstreet's poem? The only lines I've been able to find that correlate are attached below:

“I am obnoxious to each carping tongue
Who says my hand a needle better fits.
A poet’s pen all scorn I should thus wrong
For such despite they cast on female wits;
If what I do prove well, it won’t advance,
They’ll say it’s stolen, or else, it was by chance.
Yet, let me boast, proudly, I think it true,
My pen shall ever keep my name in view.”
