Excerpt from The Poems of Mrs. Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672): Together With Her Prose Remains; With an Introduction by Charles Eliot Norton

For my dear son Simon Bradstreet Meditations divine and moral To my dear children By night, when others soundly slept For deliverance from a fever From another sore fit. Deliverance from a fit of fainting Meditations when my soul hath been refreshed Upon my son Samuel his going for England. For the restoration of my dear husband Upon my daughter Hannah Wiggin On my son's return out of England Upon my husband his going into England In my solitary hours For the letters I received from my husband For my husband's safe arrival In silent night, when rest I took.

Excerpt from The Poems of Mrs. Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672): Together With Her Prose Remains; With an Introduction by Charles Eliot Norton

When it was proposed to me, not long since, to write an introduction to the edition of the poems of Mrs. Anne Bradstreet which "The Duodecimos" were about to issue, many reasons compelled me to decline the task. The request, however, led me to take up once more, after an interval of many years, the poems of "the tenth Muse," as Mrs. Bradstreet was termed on the title-page of the first edition of her verses, and I turned to the elaborate and excellent edition of them published, thirty years ago, by Mr. John Harvard Ellis. After looking them through, I came on the "Elegy upon the truly pious, peerless, and matchless gentlewoman Mrs. Anne Bradstreet," written by my ancestor the Reverend John Norton, of Hingham.
