The last line likely refers to the status of her manuscript when it left her hands. In other words, it was not as good as she would have liked. Remember that this poem is about her poetry, not a literal child. All though the poem she talks about how her poetry (the child) is not as good as she would have liked. The line just above the last one refers to Bradstreet as "poor." This may refer to money, but it also likely refers to her own estimation of her writing skills, poor in her eyes.
