Page "Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle-upon-Tyne" Paragraph 31

In An Apology for Writing So Much upon This Book, the poet compares her book to a child and compares the book / child and author / parent to birds.

The book, she states, is like a baby bird just going on its own.

The author, like a parent bird, is unsure whether or not the book / baby bird will be safe and writes / chirps in an attempt to protect it.
