List the destinies of Bradsteet's eight childrenIs it about the right & wrong she taught them. The good and evil; about morals and temptation????

The oldest or "chief of the brood" left to
travel...

readability="6">

Chief of the Brood then took his
flight 
To Regions far and left me quite. 
My mournful chirps I
after send

The second one
married and moved away...

readability="7">

My second bird did take her flight 
And
with her mate flew out of sight. 
Southward they both their course did
bend,

The third one married
also...

I have
a third of colour white 
On whom I plac'd no small delight, 
Coupled
with mate loving and true, 
Hath also bid her Dame
adieu.

The fourth one went to
study at the academy...

readability="9">

One to the Academy flew 
To chat among
that learned crew. 
Ambition moves still in his breast 
That he
might chant above the rest, 
Striving for more than to do
well, 
That nightingales he might
excell.

The fifth one who is
still young wanders about the area (or nest) searching for
independence...

readability="8">

My fifth, whose down is yet scarce
gone, 
Is 'mongst the shrubs and bushes flown 
And as his wings
increase in strength 
On higher boughs he'll perch at
length.

The other three still
abide with their mother...

readability="11">

My other three still with me
nest 
Until they're grown, then as the rest, 
Or here or there,
they'll take their flight, 
As is ordain'd, so shall they
light.

Of course, the mother
says that one day the other three will be old enough to leave the nest...she explains
her sadness for when they leave...
