the prologue

f e'er you deign these lowly lines your eyes,
Give thyme or Parsley wreath, I ask no Bays.'' I read examinations of this line,I couldn't understand clearly :(
I just understood she waits from the contemporaries as an acknolodgement ?
I'm going to try writing an essay but I need more information about this?
please help me :) where can I find it from ?? or Would you say a bit more comments about this ?

really thanks :)
